[SOLVED] A command that tells you when the last --sysupgrade happened?

Question

Is there a command that will tell me the date when the last --sysupgrade upgrade occurred?
I suppose I can write a small script that looks at the log file to determine and output the date, but I was just wondering if it exists before I do so.
This would be a nice addition to pacman if it doesn't exist already.
For example:
pacman -Q --sysupgraded
would show the last --sysupgraded date.

A script can even tell you what did you update: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 87#p626487
[karol@black ~]$ whatdidido
[2012-03-31 23:59] starting full system upgrade
[2012-03-31 23:59] upgraded cairo (1.10.2-3 -> 1.12.0-1)
[2012-03-31 23:59] upgraded e2fsprogs (1.42.1-1 -> 1.42.2-1)
[2012-03-31 23:59] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.12.0-1 -> 1.12.0.901-1)
[2012-03-31 23:59] upgraded xorg-server (1.12.0-1 -> 1.12.0.901-1)
or simply
[karol@black ~]$ grep "starting full system upgrade" /var/log/pacman.log | tail -n1
[2012-03-31 23:59] starting full system upgrade
Make an alias out of it and you're all set.
pacman devs don't like adding new switches + it probably should be 'pacman -S --something', not 'pacman -Q'.
