When running dnf upgrade
it only shows the new version of a package about to be upgraded. But I would like to see what the currently installed version of the package is too. Without having to go look up the installed packages etc. Basically I would like to add a column to the upgrade/update list that gets shown when I get asked if it should continue or not.
Currently it looks like
Package Arch Version Repository Size
But I would like to add a column of Installed Version
like this
Package Arch Installed Version Version Repository Size
Is this possible to do in dnf
at the moment or is it something that would have to be added to the code? Tried to google it but couldn't find anything about this.
Edit: Thought that I could give you a few reasons why this would be helpful, and I came up with this right of off my head. If you know more reasons please enlighten me!
- That you can see what typ of upgrade your getting. Like if it is a Major/Minor/Patch. So you can be al little more prepared on what your getting yourself into when saying yes on the continuation question.
- If you are managing multiple servers/computers and upgrade them, you can more easily see if they are on different versions to begin with. Which could mean that the update could impact differently.
