[opensuse] howto 'diff' a filetree
Hi Not really an openSUSE question, but should be a no-brainer for you guys: ...what's an easy way of comparing the contents of two directory trees, ignoring time stamps and other attributes ? I'm after a list that tells me which files exist in tree A but not in B.

It is not part of the distro. Mmmm... as far as I can see, it doesn't have any activity in sourceforge since 2006-07 Another app that compares directories, is 'mc'. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, but it is in BuildService.

May be it is so old that it has no bugs anymore :) I personally like it for its simple and intuitive interface. And it has also some nice add-ons (xxdiff-tools).

On "home" dirs. I never install anything from home dirs unless told by the owner, they may be for testing bugzillas. A home has a meaning of private.

Not really, there are reports unanswered: # Anonymous created the compile issue: realloc was not declared in this scope artifact, 2 months ago # skyrush created the Horizontal diffs shown for non-differing end of line artifact, 3 months ago etc. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I also don't like much installing packages from others home: repositories - that's why we've started working on Contrib. <advertisement> Every maintainer who thinks s/he has useful packages in her/his home:* is welcome to maintain it in Contrib.

If you want to do this in text mode, use { ( cd dir1; find ); ( cd dir2; find ) } | sort | uniq -u Assuming that you want to compare dir1 and dir2. No need for a fancy GUI. ;-) Regards nordi -- Spam protection: All mail to me that does not contain the string "suse" goes to /dev/null. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
