It's called "to mess around in a system". Admins, who do that, often

Hmmm, how much secret sauce would it take to make it easy to get a
diff of changes for scripts files which fail an rpm -V check. Probably
not really worth the pain of attempting to kludge together.

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.
The last time this discussion came up, I suggested someone just go steal
code and/or ideas from Gentoo's etc-update, and no one seems to have
done so.
It's not like this is a new problem.
