But I am thinking about giving nix a try. It's supposed to solve many of those problems without having to resort to batch jobs.
- simonblack 3y agoAn hourly pkglist goes a long way. Hourly? Hmm. That's not a bad idea at all. Quite often I will change something only to wish I had a better way of backtracking the installed packages quickly, instead of rummaging about in the install logs. Thinks: how about an hourly pkglist daily in a week-long circular-queue? A script and a cronjob could knock that on the head in a very short time. Or maybe a watch on the install-log and you'd only produce a pkglist if there's actually been any change.
