yum history

[waldirio]

Hello,

I can see that you are collecting yum history from the log file

    # Function to check the last package update timestamp on RHEL/CentOS
    check_rhel_last_update() {
        grep -oP "Installed: \K.*" /var/log/yum.log | tail -1 >> $outputdir/yum-history.txt
    }

Maybe, in this section, you can also add the command yum history. This will cover both scenarios, when testing your app, I didn't get any history, because I tested on rhel8 and there is no /var/log/yum.log, instead, I can see /var/log/dnf.log*

Maybe, you can improve and collect the info from both sources, yum history and also grep -oP "Installed: \K.*" /var/log/dnf.log*

Thank you!
Waldirio

This might be causing the issue of #12 where we are missing files from tarball
I will add your suggestions to capture additional package data. It's actual a very good idea to have the yum history command output as it provides the dates where packages got installed, thanks for the hint!
