What exactly is 'yum list recent' ??

[William Case]

Thanks g;

I had tried to phrase my question in such a way as to indicate I was
asking a deeper question than could be answered by 'man'.

For example, I have /var/log/rpmpkgs-20090201, that contains more
packages than my most recent update but not all.  I have 5 dated rpmpkgs
in all. How or what is 'yum list recent' giving me?  In this context,
what does recent mean?  Or, does yum get its recent list elsewhere?
