[SOLVED] How to find slackpkg update history?
by Tsuga from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MGJ5)
I have two issues. One is that I have come across the issue of CVE and microcode updates. That post includes a link to a script that checks one's computer CPU for vulnerability. I see there are ways to apparently fix this, but it's not easy.
I think to avoid having to get stuck in a mess, I should find out if slackpkg has installed any updates for microcode. I say this because I've read that some distros include such updates if one keeps their system up to date. Thus my question: how do I find out the history of slackpkg updates? If I can figure that out and determine in the history if the microcode has been updated, I can leave this alone. Otherwise, I'll consider whether and how to proceed with a microcode update of my own.
