Thank you for your reply. I will try to fix it soon. I am sorry for such a long delay, but I had some problems with installing F21 to virtualbox. The issue seems a bit strange to me, actually. How can be possible that you dont have /var/lib/dnf/history folder? At first I thought that this directory was just renamed on F21, but my fresh install has it. Maybe you don't even have dnf installed? Hi, dnf is installed, but there are no /var/lib/dnf/history by default. I have been testing this using Fedora 21 Workstation. Ok, thank you very much. I tried F21 Xfce spin, cause Workstation didn't work for me in virtualbox. Probably because of 3D acceleration. I will try it on real HW though. It will surely be fixed within holidays. Found the problem,
> but there are no /var/lib/dnf/history by default
You are right. This directory is created when you (re)install/update some package via DNF for the first time. After that, tracer works fine. Thank you for discovering this, I will catch the traceback.
It follows that you want to use tracer with YUM right? Tracer can do it, but DNF is configured as default and there is no switching mechanism at this moment.
There are few possibilities:
1. I can implement some switching based configuration file
2. I can get list of packages modified via DNF and via YUM and merge them, so it wouldn't matter which one who use.
3. Switching to DNF. AFAIK DNF will be default package manager for F22 and its pretty good package manager with backward compatible API to YUM. Also, tracer has plugin for DNF which prints what applications should be restarted after every transaction.
I can see no problem to implement option 1 or 2 if someone really wants to use it with YUM.
tracer-0.5.5-1.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tracer-0.5.5-1.fc21 tracer-0.5.5-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tracer-0.5.5-1.fc20 Please try update to tracer-0.5.5-1 . I have implemented option 2 mentioned above
