yum, on top of rpm, already have this capability. I found this very useful ,

Here's an improved and more upstream friendly version of syslog patch from
Mandriva which adds logging of install/remove of packages to syslog.
It will be disabled by default, but can be activated by %_log_to_syslog macro.
Any objections of commiting or ideas of improvement?
