Do Fedora only keep latest package on repo? How to get verbose/debug output of dnf history
Do fedora only keep latest package version on repository?
When i tried undo/downgrade, it not working. I also reported on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1911753 which I assume maybe thus required older packager version not available
are there is someway to see verbose/debug of `dnf history` ? I tried with `-v` but nothing much

Yes, generally.
You can get older packages from Koji, our build system, either by browsing the web interface https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=19055 or by using the `koji download-build` command.

Although I am not Samuel I expected this to be related to your initial message:
are there is someway to see verbose/debug of `dnf history` ? I tried with `-v` but nothing much.

To make downgrade work, you can install the fedora-repos-archive package and pass --enablerepo=fedora-archive when you attempt the downgrade/undo.

yum history info last
Might help?

Yup, this is what i expected and looking for,Thank you! Happy new years everyone!
Interesting. In 2016, when I filed
Bug 1397174 dnf history undo doesn't work even with keepcache=1 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1397174
the recommended workaround was to install the 'local' dnf plugin (package: python3-dnf-plugin-local).
Installing the local plugin is still a good solution. It will make undoing transactions work even for 3rd party repos.
* The title of that bug report was subsequently changed.
