I have a quandary that I need help with. When creating change records for updates I can easily provide a list of the newly installed patches via a rpm query:
rpm -qa --last | grep "16 Aug" > /tmp/patches However that does not provide the details of what that patch does I can find the patch files via a find query: find /var/lib -name patch* But there is no way to correlate the patch file to the installed rpm updates as the patch files appear to all have the current date. Can anyone provide a suggestion for capturing details of the patches that were just installed to a file for inclusion in a change record? Thanks Lionel B.
