Why would you trim off the date info? With your find approach, if the package has been uninstalled you'll find nothing. If you were wanting to know if some other behaviour could be dated to the uninstall of something it would be of no use. Genlop knows about that kind of stuff. The perl script searches from the front back and so has grabbed everthing since argument package. For example, if a package was installed and uninstalled several times it would still find the most recent and everything since. I didn't really test it much ... did you see something that would break it? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
