Package: snapper Version: 0.10.4-1 Followup-For: Bug #1041748 Dear Maintainer,
I was able to create my own script that does what I am talking about. This script will use the apt command as the snapshot description. I will try to submit a pull request into https://salsa.debian.org/debian/snapper with my enhancements. `**/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80snapper**`: ``` DPkg::Pre-Invoke { "/path/to/dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh pre"; }; DPkg::Pre-Invoke { "/path/to/dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh post"; }; ``` `**/path/to/dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh**` ``` #!/bin/bash # we need to work up the process tree to find the apt command that triggered the call to this script # get the initial PPID PARENT_PID=${PPID} # trim leading spacess PARENT_PID="${PARENT_PID## }" # if the command for this PPID is not apt while [ "$(ps -ho comm "${PARENT_PID}")" != "apt" ] ; do # go up one level PARENT_PID=$(ps -ho ppid "${PARENT_PID}") PARENT_PID="${PARENT_PID## }" # trim leading spacess done APT_CMD="$(ps -ho args "${PARENT_PID}")" SNAPPER_DESCRIPTION="apt; ${APT_CMD}" # source /etc/default/snapper if it exists if [ -e /etc/default/snapper ] ; then . /etc/default/snapper fi # what action are we taking if [ "$1" = "pre" ] ; then # pre, so take a pre snapshot # if snapper is installed # and if snapper snapshots are not being disabled using the DISABLE_APT_SNAPSHOT variable # and if /etc/snapper/configs/root exists if [ -x /usr/bin/snapper ] && [ ! x$DISABLE_APT_SNAPSHOT = 'xyes' ] && [ -e /etc/snapper/configs/root ] ; then # delete any lingering temp files rm -f /var/tmp/snapper-apt || true # create a snapshot # and save the snapshot number for reference later snapper create -d "${SNAPPER_DESCRIPTION}" -c number -t pre -p > /var/tmp/snapper-apt || true # clean up snapper snapper cleanup number || true fi elif [ "$1" = "post" ] ; then # post, so take a post snapshot # if snapper is installed # and if snapper snapshots are not being disabled using the DISABLE_APT_SNAPSHOT variable # and if the temp file with the snapshot number from the pre snapshot exists if [ -x /usr/bin/snapper ] && [ ! x$DISABLE_APT_SNAPSHOT = 'xyes' ] && [ -e /var/tmp/snapper-apt ] then # take a post snapshot and link it to the # of the pre snapshot snapper create -d "${SNAPPER_DESCRIPTION}" -c number -t post --pre- number=`cat /var/tmp/snapper-apt` || true # clean up snapper snapper cleanup number || true fi fi ``` -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages snapper depends on: ii libboost-thread1.74.0 1.74.0+ds1-21 ii libc6 2.36-9 ii libdbus-1-3 1.14.6-1 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14 ii libjson-c5 0.16-2 ii libmount1 2.38.1-5+b1 ii libsnapper6 0.10.4-1 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 ii libtinfo6 6.4-4 snapper recommends no packages. snapper suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80snapper changed [not included] /etc/default/snapper changed [not included] -- no debconf information
