gnome-software using a PackageKit backend build ontop of hawkey[1], librepo
& rpm.
dnf is also build ontop of hawkey[1], librepo & rpm.

The transaction history is implemented in dnf.

So PackageKit, dnf & yum all have there own package transaction history.

There was some talk about a common backend to store these informations, but
dont know the state of that.
