Description Ross Burton 2017-05-04 13:12:29 UTC 
If you use buildhistory-diff on an image built using RPM the output is largely noise thanks to DNF using non-predictable names for files:

  /var/lib/dnf/yumdb/s/a457dcb17368bad5191312edadabb29d912ebd2e-systemd-compat-units-1.0-r29-corei7_64/from_repo was removed
  /var/lib/dnf/yumdb/s/777bea8f2222f4415088001aca9a5c16e22deb3f-systemd-compat-units-1.0-r29-corei7_64/from_repo was added

Thanks, DNF.

buildhistory-diff needs a blacklist of directories which should be filtered out of image comparisons, and /var/lib/dnf/yumdb added to it.
