--- Begin Message ---Package: cupt Version: 2.2.2 Severity: wishlist Several Windows package managers (Secunia, Glary Utils, etc.) can sort installed programs by install date. The feature is surprisingly useful, for example, when one forgets the name of a recently installed package or program. Since 'dpkg' doesn't store the install date, Debian lacks a simple sort by install date function. (There are kludges, like parsing logfiles, but the logs only go back so far.) Possible remedy: Add an install date field to the 'cupt' installed package database. Note: Why 'cupt' and not 'dpkg'? Ideally 'dpkg' ought to store the installation date, but a review of the 'dpkg' bug list shows its cautious maintainers can be slow to change things: # Count 'dpkg' bugs open. At present there's more than three hundred. % wget -O - 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archived=no&pkg=dpkg&repeatmerged=yes' 2> /dev/null | html2text | sed -n '/\* #/{s/.*#\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p}' | sort -u | wc -l 334 Hope this helps... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cupt depends on: ii libboost-program-options1.46.1 1.46.1-7 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcupt2-0 2.2.2 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-4 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-4 cupt recommends no packages.
