    Is there an easy way to see which programs I've installed via svn?

    This may be an odd questions, but I know I've installed a few programs from Subversion and I forgot to make a note of which apps I've gotten that way. Is there any way that I can find a list of which apps came from svn?

    Re: Is there an easy way to see which programs I've installed via svn?

    Here is what I would try to find files that have not been installed
    using the debian packaging tool (e.g svn, self-compiled sources,
    etc.).

    * Have a look at /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin with "ls -rtl *"
    Browsing through the list and have a look at the sorted
    timestamps. This should give you a good idea about the origin
    of the files. Most source packages publish binaries in these
    directories (unless you overwrite that behaviour with
    "./configure --prefix=..." - something I always (try to) do when
    compiling and installing stuff myself).

    * Look for (executable) files that are newer than the files from
    your basic installation. E.g. files newer than 90 days:
    Code:
    sudo find / -type f -perm /u+x -mtime -90 -print
    The problem is that this also lists updates of the last 90 days.

    * You can create a list of all officially installed (executable) files
    by running dpkg -l (to get a list of all installed packages) and
    then dpkg -L for every package. You can compare that full list (after
    sorting it with "sort" and removing duplicates with "uniq")
    to a list of all (executable) files on the system
    (created with "find" again, see above).

    Hmmm. I can't do much about it now but I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks.
