Over years Ive collected tgz's of my directories. I would like to diff and uniq them
Now I guess it would be quite simple to write a script that does a walk or find through a pair of directory trees, makes a SHA1 of each file and then sorts out the files whose SHA1s are the same/different. What is more difficult for me to do is to write a visual/gui tool to help me do this. I would guess that someone in the python world must have already done it [The alternative is to use some of the tools that come with version control systems like git. But if I knew more about that option I would not be stuck with tgzs in the first place ;-)] So if there is such software known please let me know. PS Also with the spam flood that has hit the python list I dont know if this mail is being read at all or Ive fallen off the list! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
