genlop -l equivalent

Hi,

is there an equivalent to gentoo's "genlop -i" command which outputs the install-history?

genlop -i

/var/log/pacman.log has a lot of information one might not want to see in the list:

Re: genlop -l equivalent

I use a small script to remove the crap (mostly from install scriptlets) from pacman log. Maybe you want to borrow the grep command...

#!/bin/bash

su -c "
grep -P '^\[.+?\] ((installed|removed|upgraded).+\)$)|warning: ' /var/log/pacman.log > /tmp/pacman.log \
    && cat /tmp/pacman.log > /var/log/pacman.log && rm -f /tmp/pacman.log"
