new pkgtool location /var/lib/pkgtools for inxi -r slackware
by h2-1 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E4EE)
I've been tying up some loose ends etc and just learned that slackware 15 is going to move its package location from /var/log/packages to /var/lib/pkgtools
Can someone confirm or deny that the new location will function the same, that is, that directory will contain the installed package files? Currently inxi just reads /var/log/packages and counts up what it found inside to complete the pkgtool: counts for -I line, or -r line. In other words, is this simply a move of the location of the main package info directory and no other changes?
I have this coded out in pinxi already, but just wanted to confirm that this assumption is correct.
