Can I get a list of post installation .rpm files?

I would like to download and save ALL .rpm files that have been added after the standard installation.

Is there a way to get a list?

Thanks :).

Well there isn’t such a thing as a standard installation, since even at install time you can change the set of RPMs installed. However if you know the time at which you did the initial install, you could tell rpm to output the RPMs sorted by descending time of install, and take only those added after the initial install. Use the --last option together with -qa, like this:

rpm -qa --last

As for downloading them, after you have the list, I suppose you would generate commands to fetch them from the repos. I think I’ll let someone else work out the scripting for this, I’m tired out after a long day.

Excellent, that gives me something to work with.

Thanks a lot :).
