Sometimes, say when you have just run a yum update, it would be useful to list the packages that has been recently installed on the system.We can do so with the “rpm” command.
[root@c7vanilla ~]# rpm -qa --last yum-cron-3.4.3-132.el7.centos.0.1.noarch Sat 19 Dec 2015 12:09:44 GMT yum-utils-1.1.31-34.el7.noarch Sat 19 Dec 2015 11:04:20 GMT iwl7260-firmware-22.0.7.0-43.el7.noarch Sat 19 Dec 2015 10:43:20 GMT iwl100-firmware-39.31.5.1-43.el7.noarch Sat 19 Dec 2015 10:43:20 GMT iwl5150-firmware-8.24.2.2-43.el7.noarch Sat 19 Dec 2015 10:43:19 GMT
The “–last” arguement list the packages in descending order of the date of install.
