Not totally wrong except that cruft also check for file in dev, local files, spool files, etc. You can make it run any scripts you want to return a list of file paths that you consider to bbe (or must be) install in your system. RPM -V only check for files in the DB. It doesn't check for new files but check for change files, what I think cruft doesn't. IIRC, dpkg-cert are the tools for that. May be a cruft script for using with dpkg-cert will be appreciate. ;) Just my 2 pennies. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fabien Ninoles Running Debian/GNU Linux E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WebPage: http://www.callisto.si.usherb.ca/~94246757 WorkStation [available when connected!]: http://nightbird.tzone.org/ RSA PGP KEY [E3723845]: 1C C1 4F A6 EE E5 4D 99 4F 80 2D 2D 1F 85 C1 70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
