Hey,
i wonder if its possible to use dnf and dictate it to not install
packages that are younger then $((today - 7 )) for example.
If not directly possible, any other ways to accomplishing it?
Sure, building repos with snapshots would work here but I am
looking for additional ways ...
A couple ideas:
1. You could run weekly from a scrpt:
yum --assumeno update
which will create the transaction (but not install it) and save it to
/tmp/ and then rerun that transaction week later:
yum --assumeyes load-transaction
/tmp/yum_save_tx.2021-11-14.13-54.FhQii3.yumtx
That's an interesting approach. Not sure if this is still valid for EL8?
Some tests doesn't show any transaction artifact. Maybe I need to dive
deeper ...
Yes, you are correct, 'yum load-transaction' is not available in dnf on
RHEL8

I'm still mostly using el7 so never noticed :-)
2. Write a yum plugin to mask packages from the transaction sack that
are less than 7 days old. How are your python skills?
That seems to be the cleanest solution. Lets see if I find time for
that. A quick look into repodata xml files shows that the build time
is also there exposed ...
Thanks,
Leon
