Hi. So I'm in the process of writing a script that does a few things: 1: creates a report of all RPM installed files whose md5 has changed [1] 2: creates a report of all non-rpm owned files (orphans) I've actually got the script working.. First step takes about 9 minutes due to the md5 hashing, and the second step takes all of about 15s. Times would be subjective to system, of course. Anyways. There is a problem with the second report. Many RPMs report that they own a directory instead of a file. Which isn't a bad thing, except that not all RPMs when removed will actually remove the directory and its contents, depending on how it was defined as owned. My original thought was to just check to see if the parent directory was owned, but I don't know how conclusive that would be, or if it would hide from me some of the files I really need to see. Anyone have any suggestions? -greg [1] I'm using a method similar to this: http://people.redhat.com/pnasrat/rpm-python/rpm-python-slides/foil15.html _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
