I want a list of installed packages requested by the user, excluding those installed as dependencies. This is on a CentOS 5 machine and the packages were installed using yum. I am attempting to reconstruct what rpms were necessary to build a particularly large amount of source code.

For example, if yum install net-snmp-devel were run the list would not include elfutils-libelf-devel-static installed as a dependency of net-snmp-devel.
