(Apparently you cannot put a screenshot here)
It looks like this: http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/Screenshot_2023-08-01_11-34-49.png
If there is an interactive terminal dnf5
is trying to use the full width it has available so yes it can be wider than 80. I believe this is consistent with old dnf
as well.
But it shouldn't be stretching the outputs over multiple lines like in your screenshot (unless you first print the transaction table and then resize the window). In my testing if there is not enough space it cuts off the too long elements rather than spilling over the lines.
I didn't resize the terminal. Everything would fit into 80 columns fine if there wasn't so much whitespace.
Interesting, do you have a reproducer for this? Does it happen on every dnf5 command?
It happens with any install command that needs to install a significant number of packages. For example just now I did:
# dnf install libreoffice --enablerepo=rawhide

Is this ok [y/N]:
This happens to be with dnf5-5.0.15-4.fc39.x86_64
(which is wider than 80 columns and appears wrapped)
Right, as you can see in the output you provided there is really no way to make it smaller and keep the columns aligned.
There is always at least on entry in each column that is fully using it.
It is already cutting the Version
column: noarch 1:1.002-0.16.20130214.f
should be noarch 1:1.002-0.16.20130214.f39
.
We could also look into cutting the packages names if too long but it might make the output even more confusing.
There is this other issue to make the output smaller/configurable https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/issues/326 that I think is related to your request.
Old dnf does this:
# dnf install javapackages-filesystem google-crosextra-caladea-fonts pentaho-reporting-flow-engine --releasever=39 --best

where the summary part is all nicely under 80 columns.
Ok, so if I understand correctly the core of this issue is that dnf5 transaction output is wider because:
Repository
instead of Repo
heading replacing
keyword during upgrades (this is still being discussed when/if it should be printed).The issue is that the output is wider than 80 columns on an 80 column terminal, when it doesn't need to be.
This is wider than 80 columns.
