Elapsed time

[BrianKaye47]

It would be nice to have the date, time and elapsed time displayed for a command instance. I do it for dnf3 with a shell script function but was never able to handle the group sub-command.

I thing "script" (logs every line written to a terminal with a time stamp) or "time" (reports how long a program run) are better tools that work with any command. I don't see a reason why DNF5 should implement this feature.

It would be a simple change. Record starting time and end time and subtract the two for elapsed time. If one keeps a terminal window open for updates, you could easily see when the last updates were done.

That data are already stored in /var/log/dnf5.log log file you can use for your reference.
