I would like to see a list of updates installed on a certain date in a local openSUSE 12.1's YaST2.

Yes, SLED installs gnome by default, but it also has kde. I wonder
if the enterprise side (the clients) will like gnome 3, I guess
not much. We will have to wait to learn about that.

Hi
Will be a few years away, SP2 still has GNOME 2.x don’t forget there is
still SLE 9 and 10 lurking too

not always in line with theirs…

You don’t have to read it all, nor participate. Just read somethings to
know what is coming.

Good

That’s how I learnt about systemd and decided to install two test system,
one virtual, the other in the test partition of a laptop.

There isn’t one that I know of, but you can run the following commands:

su -
rpm --last

That’ll give you the packages installed in reverse order, and you can
filter that list to see what was installed on the date in question.

I tried:

 su - 
rpm --last 

and got nowhere. I ended up with

cat /var/log/zypp/history | grep kmag >> De-In-stall/ZyppDone/ZyppHist-aug-17-16-kmag 

and got this (in the file /home/De-In-stall/ZyppDone/ZyppHist-aug-17-16-kmag):

2014-10-26 09:14:35|install|kmag|4.14.2-1.1|x86_64|root@opensuse|InstallationImage|
605ae43f02bba6a5a434b2118e2503367352562dba355c7fba1c87855f6c142e|

2016-08-16 20:48:05|remove |kmag|4.14.2-1.1|x86_64|root@linux-o00d.site|
2016-08-16 21:07:55|install|kmag|14.12.3-16.1|x86_64|root@linux-o00d.site|repo-update|720bb8e522b2c07fe2e3bbb110231e8749754e9be939e85388c9977f70315c52|

2016-08-17 14:46:31|remove |kmag|14.12.3-16.1|x86_64|root@linux-o00d.site|
2016-08-17 14:47:50|install|kmag|14.12.1-8.1|x86_64|root@linux-o00d.site|repo-update|9b01748d7b5cfcdb2b5c292ad8d254a2de014df54a10fa9c0d3e69a1c7a3bef0|

which, as you can see, displays both installs & removes. The output is in date order (oldest first, newest last - see dates above) and you can produce results by searching date, install, remove, name of package or whatever.

Hope this helps someone.
