That is a fine point. :-) Let's go old-school:
- Make sure your wallpaper is correct. - Save a copy of your /etc tree (and any other directory somebody may suggest). - Do a redundant zypper dup that doesn't do any new installing. - diff -r <saved copy of /etc> /etc
You've lost me.. I dont understand what you're wanting....
chris@localhost:~> sudo diff -r etc.7z /etc
diff: /etc/etc.7z: No such file or directory
You have to create it yourself. It is an archived copy of the entire /etc tree before you run zypper dup, in order to compare the contents before and after. You could instead create a backup tree, for instance: rsync --archive --acls --xattrs --hard-links --sparse \ --stats --human-readable / /etc/ /etc.backup And after the zypper dup, use meld /etc /etc-backup to compare the directories (but it is not recursive, AFAIR). And you have to install meld before the entire operation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
