<p>Configuration is done via Python ini configuration files. The defaults
should be suitable for most users, so you may not need to do any configuration at all.
By default only the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root</span></code> snapper configuration is snapshotted.</p>
<p>A commented example configuration files is located at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/snap-pac.ini.example</span></code>.</p>
<p>To configure, copy the example configuration file:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>cp /etc/snap-pac.ini<span class="o">{</span>.example,<span class="o">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then edit with your favorite editor. The file is commented and should be
self-explanatory.</p>
<p>Each section corresponds with a snapper configuration. Add additional sections to add
other snapper configurations to be snapshotted. By default, only the root configuration
is snapshotted. Additionally you can add a section named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DEFAULT</span></code> with options that
apply to all snapper configurations unless overridden in a later section.</p>
<p>Each section can have the following entries:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">desc_limit</span></code> - integer; maximum length of description string before being truncated.
Default: 72</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">important_packages</span></code> - list of strings; names of packages that if involved in a pacman
transaction will add <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">important=yes</span></code> to the snapper userdata for the pair of
snapshots. Default: []</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">important_commands</span></code> - list of strings; parent commands that will add
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">important=yes</span></code> to the snapper userdata for the pair of snapshots. Default: []</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pre_description</span></code> - string; description for the pre snapshot. Default: the parent
command that called the pacman hook.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">post_description</span></code> - string; description for the post snapshot. Default: space
separated list of packages that were installed, upgraded, or removed.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">snapshot</span></code> - boolean; whether or not to snapshot the configuration. Default: True for
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root</span></code> configuration; False otherwise.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">userdata</span></code> - list of strings; key-value pairs that will be added to the userdata for
the pair of snapshots. Default: []</p></li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="environment-variables">
<h2>Environment Variables<a class="headerlink" href="#environment-variables" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>To temporarily prevent snapshots from being performed for a single pacman
command, set the environment variable <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SNAP_PAC_SKIP</span></code>. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>sudo <span class="nv">SNAP_PAC_SKIP</span><span class="o">=</span>y pacman -Syu
