packages installation history
« on: March 29, 2012, 01:58:51 PM »
You all know that synaptic log each install/update/remove operations, at least for the amount of time you set up in your synaptic preferences.

I found myself sometimes using apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade ... guess what ... that's not logged in synaptic log files ... of course.

How to list the latest installed packages ?  The following command will provide the list of the latest installed/upgraded packages ... the last 100 packages to be precise:

Code: [Select]
rpm  -qa  --last  |  head  -100
Still the removed one are missed, but it is better than nothing!
