All,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to find a good way to compare two complex directory<br>
structures to see what files differ. I've looked at a few different<br>
options:<br>
<br>
- rsync dry run (someone said this should work, but I'm having trouble<=
br>
getting good information out of this)<br>
- diff -rq (this works, but it's sloowwwwww)<br>
<br>
I've used cdircmp before but it tends to crash on complex directories<b=
r>
(a directory with more than a few subdirs and with hidden dot files).<br>
<br>
Thoughts? Any specific / good utilities for doing this?<br>
