Hi.
Is there some sort of logfile that urpmi maintains about its rpm actions?
I would like to have a log file, maybe /var/log/urpmi/installed, which
should list the package names which were installed and the date/time when
this package was installed. Further, there should be
/var/log/urpmi/removed, which should list all the true removals. That is,
it should list whenever urpme was run, and not the "kinda" removals that are
done when updating a package. Further, there might be
/var/log/urpmi/combined, which should contain the contents of both files
plus a "flag" indicating whether this was an install or removal. Well, I
could live with only this file being implemented as long as something like
"grep 'removal' /var/log/urpmi/combined" would lsit all the removals. And
lastly there should be a /var/log/urpmi/updates, listing which packages were
updated and which one was present beforehand.
Format of those files:
installed:
date package_name_version_release
removed:
date package_name_version_release
combined:
date type package_name_version_release
updates:
date old_package_name_version_release new_pkg_name_version_release
This would allow to easily keep track of what package actions where done
when.
Maybe this should be implemented in rpm, so that really everything might be
logged.
