packages installed

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

In fedora 16 there was a directory /var/log/rpmpkgs
where I could find a record or the installed packages.
This directory does not seem to exist any more.
Has it moved somewhere else?

Thank.

rpmpkgs is a file that gets created in the /var/log directory

Currently, in F18 this is generated by rpm-cron. Originally, this the cron
function was packaged in rpm. At some point it was separated from rpm.

In F16, install rpm-cron in order to generated that file

/var/log/yum.log

or yum list installed

If you really just want a current list of installed packages (not when
they were installed or what repo they came from) try:

rpm -qa

which is much faster than yum, but to be useful I would dump it in a text file:

rpm -qa > installed.txt

or if you're looking for something in particular:

rpm -qa | grep -i <name>

and if you want a usefull list without version-numbers
which are not helpful to install the same packages
months later on another machine:

[root@rh:~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/packages
#!/usr/bin/bash
/bin/nice -n 19 /bin/rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}\n" | sort | tee /root/packages.txt
chmod 644 /root/packages.txt

I used to struggle to remove the version numbers from the names.

I have also wanted one of those. Thanks a lot for that.  :-)
