Pretty much everything that you want logged is already logged by the 
standard Slackware package management tools.

I'm not sure what you're really wanting, perhaps a script that parses 
these and orders them by date ?

Okay ...

find /var/adm/removed_packages/ /var/adm/packages/ -type f -printf '%T@ %t %h/%f\n' | sort -n | sed 's@^[0-9]\+ @@;s@/var/adm/removed_packages/@Removed @;s@/var/adm/packages/@Installed @;s at Removed \(.*\)-upgraded-.*@Removed (upgrade): \1@'
