Do you find it useful? Did it already exists and I miss it in > my search? http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Gentoo:etc-update That's etc-update, originates from Gentoo, and handles rpmnew/rpmsave files (I think it just matches any filenames in /etc that look to be variants of each other). Mandriva has rather simple handling of these files in its graphical package manager, rpmdrake: http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/soft/rpmdrake/trunk/Rpmdrake/rpmnew.pm?view=markup it more or less just shows you a diff between the old and new configs, and asks which you'd like to use. No editing / reconciliation is possible. And it's in perl. =) There may be others, but those are the ones that spring to mind. (btw, if anyone's wondering why there's always a blank line above my sig now, this appears to be a 'feature' of Evolution in Rawhide...it includes a blank line before the separator in the signature block). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
