Re: [newbie] Package list help.

OK. A favour for a favour, ( I hope? )
# rpm -qa
Thats the command, now what do I add to the end of it to successfully 
pipe it to a text file?

To: Our Gang;
Is there a command that will provide me with a detailed package
list of all installed rpms? Since doing the install on my
system, I've added, updated and removed quite a few of them,
and I'd like to create a repository of the packages that are
currently installed.
That way, I can re-install them from a local source if I have
to recover from a cooker install of 10.1. I know that I have a
package list from my original install, but I'm looking for an
updated list.
Is it possible to extract the list from the RPM database?
ideas? suggestions?
TIA
Lanman
         

/var/log/rpmpkgs should show you what you want.
It's plain text so it may just be easier than all the grepping
and diffing. <GRIN>

Perhaps you mean '/var/cache/urpmi/rpms'?
     

Or perhaps not Hoyt. That's where the packages go before they're
installed but unless you use a no-clean or keep flag that directory
gets emptied after all transactions are finished.
The file that I posted about is where everything that has been
installed is listed.

Sorry I couldnt find it when I first looked but after going back I found 
2.
