rpmconf

The tool that we are reviewing today is a powerful software that searches for all configuration files related to installed packages on your system. It then checks to see whether .rpmsave or .rpmnew files exist and presents them to the user. The tool functions by providing options to help you decide what to do with these files: keep the current version or the other one (rpmsave or rpmnew) or delete files that are identical to the current one.

One point to note is that this program does not search for all rpmsave and rpmnew files; it only looks for those related to installed configuration files. Therefore, if the package that they belong to has been uninstalled and the rpmsave file has been left behind, then the program will ignore it.

To summarise, this software is an excellent tool if you’re looking to compare configuration files between two packages, decide which one to keep, or delete a specific package’s configuration files. However, it might not be useful in all situations, such as with rpmsave or rpmnew files that have been left behind by uninstalled packages. Overall, we would recommend this program to system administrators or advanced users looking for an efficient way to manage configuration files on their system.
