Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.3.6-2008-08-28-i686 save-config showfile differences

[Brian N. <br...@fu...>]

Agreed.  I did look at the save-config script and noticed that it was a
"tar -d" that was giving the difference output.

You could augment the save-config script to compensate and print all of
the files that will get tar'd from the etc-mods directory that are not
in the current tar file.

This is not bullet proof and there might be a better way of doing this,
but...:


cd /shm

# list differences in existing files
tar -djf $CONFIG_MOUNT/$DL_CONFIG_FILE etc-mods

# list new files to be added to the tarball
for file in `find etc-mods -type f`
do
        tar -tjf $CONFIG_MOUNT/$DL_CONFIG_FILE | grep $file > /dev/null
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                echo $file: First save
        fi
done

Yes, that is nice, if I do say so myself.  :-)

You'll probably have to make that request to the maintainer of the
"tar" command.  What you're seeing is the output of the tar "-d"
option.
