I don't know if there is a "tool" for that, but I know how i'd do it.
Basically:
build_file_list() {
files="$(find_all_files_not_installed_by_rpm)"
files="$files $(all_files_listed_by_rpm_as_modified)"
echo $files
}
tar czvf checkpoint.tar.gz $(build_file_list)
I suppose the only gotcha is that if you had to roll back, you would
have to get any files modified in an rpm that were not modified at
checkpoint time from the rpm. So you would need a "rollback" tool too.
