Subject: [gentoo-user] comparing two complex directories
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:35:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e107b4ff0910291135l1a9da3dj6340da0b2cb6f24b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
All,
I'm trying to find a good way to compare two complex directory
structures to see what files differ. I've looked at a few different
options:
- rsync dry run (someone said this should work, but I'm having trouble
getting good information out of this)
- diff -rq (this works, but it's sloowwwwww)
I've used cdircmp before but it tends to crash on complex directories
(a directory with more than a few subdirs and with hidden dot files).
Thoughts? Any specific / good utilities for doing this?
