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
