Luke Macken, Will Woods, and I were talking about something just a
little less ambitious at FudCON. Just keeping a history of config
files. Here's a bit of a hack that could get you started. The one
glaring problem that I see with it is that it doesn't keep a copy of the
original file. ie: When I want to see the change, I probably want a
diff3 between the original file, my modified file, and the file rpm is
going to install. Without the original, I can only see the changes
between my modified file and the new one.
REPO="/var/lib/rpmcraziness"
VCSCOMMIT="/usr/bin/bzr commit"
package=sys.argv[1]
changedFiles=os.popen("rpm -V %s" % package)
for fileLine in changedFiles:
fileParts=fileLine.split()
filename=fileParts[-1]
if is_text_file(filename):
shutil.copy2(filename, os.path.join(REPO, filename[1:])
os.system("%s %s" % (VCSCOMMIT, REPO))
You'll have to write is_text_file() yourself as my imagination ends
there :-)
