cachyos-bugreport.sh "Installed packages" too minimal

Open commonsourcecs opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

The current output in the bugreport listing "Installed packages"

https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-Settings/blob/a559ecccf0844dc1f4a81bdedf3b5e15899304b6/usr/bin/cachyos-bugreport.sh#L50C1-L60C2

only prints those coming from the Cachy micro-architecture repos (v3, v4, znver4).

This outputs a list only containing a handful of packages.

A copy taken from a recent example:

--------------------------------------------

This is such a small fraction of installed packages as to be of little use.

Listing cachy-specific packages is nice in a way, but it should probably include those from the base cachyos repo too.

In the context of the bugreport it might make more sense to list all packages, possibly including their repo/source, and also delineating foreign packages as well.

I think I’ve motivated it before in terms of privacy to not expose installed software in bug reports. But I think it would be nice to expand the list.
