My question is how do I get an archive of what cygwin packages I have
installed.
/etc/setup/installed.db
or
sed -n -e '2,$s/ .*$//p' /etc/setup/installed.db
or to feed into setup.exe -P
sed -n -e '2,$s/ .*$//p' /etc/setup/installed.db | tr '\n' , | sed -e 's/,$/\n/'
Is there some reason why you wouldn't just use cygcheck for this?

Ken: /etc/setup/installed.db is exactly what I was looking for, thanks
Barry: Thanks for sed suggestions, makes for a cleaner list of info
(which matches my need of "an ascii record" of what I've installed)
Chris: I didn't know about cygcheck and had blinders on during my search
as I was looking for a data file rather than a utility. Just read the
docs, test drove it per docs, and its definitely better than what I was
originally looking for. Thanks!
