Recipe 2.7. Finding Recently Installed RPMs

2.7.1 Problem

You installed some new packages a few days ago, and you've forgotten what they are.

2.7.2 Solution

Use the —last option:

# rpm -qa —last

This command lists all installed RPMs, with the newest first.

2.7.3 Discussion

If the list is too long, pipe it into less or head: rpm -qa --last|head.
