Where can I find a list of sbopkg

I would like to upgrade to slackware current and reinstall my sbopkg's, but I can't find where all my installed packages are listed.

Try this:
man sbopkg
or as root:
sbopkg --help

Be aware that not all packages can be rebuilt on -current without issue, see this thread:

this command should do it

Code:

# sbopkg -p

The list of all installed packages is in /var/log/packages

All SBo packages have a "SBo" suffix, filter by that

fwiw I wrote a little script "lstgz" long ago to list packages filtered by name and by content. Maybe someone finds it helpful. With that, "lstgz sbo" answers the question.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
packdir=/var/log/packages/
grepoptions="-H"
if [ $# = 1 ] ; then
  ls -1 $packdir | grep -i "$1"
elif [ $# = 2 ] ; then
  pushd $packdir > /dev/null
  for file in $(ls -1 | grep -i "$1") ; do 
    grep $grepoptions "$2" $file
  done
  popd > /dev/null
else
  echo "usage: $0 <fragment of package> [<fragment of content>]"
fi

If what you are asking what slackbuilds packages you have installed on your system, you can just run this

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep SBo

If you plan on reinstalling it may be a good idea to pipe that information out to a text file.

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep SBo > SBo_packages.txt
