As the URL notes under "Detailed Description," that is not handled at all.
It wraps all file I/O, yum or not, into the snapshot.
Yeah but you can't roll back userland transactions. Not to mention
you are talking about an interface that may change quite a bit over
the next year.
That seems like a significant limitation, I'm also not sure that the
current transaction API would be usable by rpm. Anyway...
We have snapshotting abilities now, and yes it's a big
hammer, but just because its a bit of a blunt instrument doesn't mean
we shouldn't take advantage of it.
This implies that "all you have is a hammer" but you can already run
"yum history undo".
which works up to a point. If the older pkgs you had prior to an update
are not available anywhere history undo isn't going to be able to 'undo'
but so much.
