Well, 'rpm -qa' is just a start listing things. RPM makes things easier. Say you want to list installed RPM's:
- by installtime:
Code:
rpm -qa --qf="%{INSTALLTIME:date} %{NAME}\n"
- by group:
Code:
cat /usr/share/doc/rpm-*/GROUPS\
|while read grp; do echo "# Group: ${grp}";
rpm -q -g "${grp}"; echo; done
- top-10 packages by size:
Code:
rpm -qa --qf="%{SIZE} %{NAME}\n"|sort -grk1|head -10
