Number of installed kernels

[Achim Patzner]

Hi!


I've asked this question before (but cannot find the answer anymore):


1) Is there a way to specify that more than three kernel versions are
kept using qubes-dom0-update?

2) Could this be made configurable?

3) Could this be separated from the number of domU kernels being kept?


Reason: The 4.8.x-kernels are more than a bit problematic for my system
right now; yet I want to experiment with them. My "usual" way of dealing
with this (downloading the rpm and using rpm -i to install them is not
really working too well, either (just collect more than three kernels
that way and then miss downloading one the usual way and your VMs will
try booting things that are not there anymore). What I'm right now
really after would be keeping as many of the kenel-qubes-vm-packages as
I like and a way to nail one known good kernel package to the ground
while testing. Is there a reasonable way to do that?

/etc/dnf/dnf.conf - installonly_limit option.

No, dnf does not support different types of installonly packages
(those with multiple simultaneous versions installed).
