Current versions actually generate a text file of all the installed
packages.
[ewilts@p6000 ewilts]$ cat /etc/cron.daily/rpm
#!/bin/sh
rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n' 2>&1 \
| sort > /var/log/rpmpkgs
[ewilts@p6000 ewilts]$ rpm -qf /etc/cron.daily/rpm
rpm-4.2.1-4.4
The log file, /var/log/rpmpkgs, is generated daily and then logrotate
rotates this file on a weekly basis so you've got the last 4 weeks or so
online to see what changes might have been made to your system.
rpm is your friend for all rpm-based distributions. It's extremely
powerful, not only in simply identifying which packages are instaled,
but also for things like telling you which package owns a specific file
(see my example above).
