    Hi everyone,

    I was doing Linux From Scratch a couple of months ago, but can't
    remember in which section of the chapter 6 I was.

    Is there anyway to know which are the packages I've already
    installed? (Other than ls'ing and looking at programs installed)

    I mean, is there a tool or shell script that I could use to search
    all the installed packages on LFS?

    Sincerely,

    Mateus

Hi!

While I am not aware of a tool that will indicate the installed packages
per se, most of the packages store information in the
${INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig/.

So, by checking out these directories one should be able to
approximately determine which packages have been installed.


Something else that could help is to check bash history.
If your HISTSIZE value is big enough and you didn't use much the console
during the last period, you can see the commands you executed
when doing LFS (e.g. tar xf) and find out the last installed package.
Even if you are using buildscripts, you can see the last ran.
