you can do that the frontends can't). As you ask here and opensuse uses RPM, try finding the equivalent to even the very simple
rpm -qa --last | less
with any frontend. AFAIK: neither yast nor zypper can do that.
But why should they reimplement a feature that is already implemented just fine in rpm? Yes, a sort of "shim" just calling rpm and displaying the output would be nice, but, ah, let's say, stuff like that is not a priority ;)
Can you please explain this para? The rest I understood and got the idea...
Have a look at the output of above 'rpm' command. The history that is available under "Extras" is not as useful, IMO, esp. it does not show any packages you installed/removed directly with rpm (which I often do, a 'rpm -e foo' is much faster than 'zypper rm foo' ... Well, anyway, rpm has that '--last' option and a lot more which are useful (e.g. --queryformat ;) Anyway: I think it's not important for yast/zypper to reimplement that '--last' feature of rpm.
