I compile from source quite a number of programs, and they tend to occupy a fair amount of disk space. After installation, a "make clean" gets free of most of it. I would like to remove anything that came with the original source tar.gz file, but keep my added or modified files in the directory. So, the question: is there an easy way to compare a directory with the archive.tgz it came from, and remove anything that is the same as contained in the said tar? Maybe someone has done this before. (It might be on the "info tar" but it is complicated reading ;-) ) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
