Yup George :)
I came to know that crons does them the other day , when I was
traversing through /etc/logrotate.d /etc/crons.daily
Hey I got the thing that this below command will list the diff itself
To report in a more human-readable format:
# rpm -qa --last
var/log/rpmpkgs is created on a daily basis with an rpm listing. It's
then rotated weekly. See /etc/cron.daily/rpm and /etc/logrotate.d/rpm.
You could customize these reports if you wanted to. To simply see
what's changed this week:
# diff /var/log/rpmpkgs /var/log/rpmpkgs.1
