You might be interested to know that OSTree does that automatically: # ostree admin config-diff M group M fstab M gshadow M shadow M passwd M resolv.conf A vconsole.conf A .pwd.lock A passwd- A shadow- A group- A gshadow- A X11 A X11/xorg.conf.d A X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf # The way this works is that the default etc is shipped as /usr/etc, so we can always diff it versus the real /etc. (Putting this underneath RPM requires extensive, deeply invasive changes, but I've been working on it slowly) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
