Hi Herta, > Would `ls -ltr` do? No, because I can't rely on timestamps. They may have recently been copied there. I'd really like to read the RPM headers and let it tell me which is the latest. I know you can use perl-RPM to manipulate the --query-format command-line syntax, which I understand to be the most reliable, but it's more complicated than I can do.
