Do we need this crap on LWN?Do we need this crap on LWN?Posted Feb 22, 2007 5:46 UTC (Thu) by k8to (subscriber, #15413)In reply to: Do we need this crap on LWN? by vondo Parent article: ESR's goodbye note
Until _quite_ recently this was completely impossible. Really. No records were kept at all.
Now that dpkg keeps a log, someone could at least write such a thing, although I don't think one exists yet.

dpkg log Posted Feb 22, 2007 14:41 UTC (Thu) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] the ls/sed hack I posted above works on Debian sarge, which (although current stable)isn't exactly "quite recent". No need for the dpkg log. And as far as I can see, recent dpkg only keeps a log if you explicitly tell it to anyway. (Though I could be missing something more recent.)
