Allow for Snapper Important Label #38

Closed jproctor10 closed 3 years ago

jproctor10 commented 3 years ago

The cleanup number algorithm has allowed for an important marker for some time https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper/commit/ea4dfd1935a24b29172d04cec1a9360209fb5726. This is done through a userdata variable important=yes.

It would be super useful to be able to add this user variable to specific calls, namely full system updates. Doing that automatically for any pacman -Syu would be ideal. But, just introducing an environment variable to modify the snapper command would still enable this functionality.

Working on a rewrite of the bash script into Python to make enhancements like these easier to implement.

Just to follow up and make this clear, the way to mark userdata important=yes for full system upgrades will be to add the following lines to /etc/snap-pac.ini:

[root]
important_commands = ["pacman -Syu"]

This is now in the main branch and will be in effect in the next release.

Awesome. Seems simple and configurable with the python rewrite. Thanks
