Description Ed Hill 2006-05-06 12:26:39 UTC
Description of problem:
The output from "yum list" truncates version numbers and there 
does not appear to be any way (short of perhaps writing a yum 
plugin) to change the output format.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.6.1-0.fc5

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run "yum list 'kmod*'"
2. notice that version numbers in output are truncated

  
Actual results:
Version numbers are truncated and heres an example:

  kmod-madwifi.i686              0.0.0.20060317-3.2.6.1 livna

Notice how its impossible to tell *which* kernel version this particular 
kmod package corresponds to since the critical parts of the version 
information have been cut off.  Bad, bad!

Expected results:
Output formatting should preserve the full version information.
Acceptable solutions include increasing the width of the output.

Hi folks, any news here?

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-18 20:35:26 UTC
The problem with this is that it then "overflows" a standard terminal :/

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2007-04-25 17:35:17 UTC
Breaking the terminal output isn't really an option.. and there's no good wya to
find out the width we can go to without using something like curses (... which
we really don't want to do)
