edited_conffiles

One day, I decided to start tracking with git the edits I had made to files in /etc.

The problem is: I didn't know which one they were.

So I wrote this script to find them. You need python-apt to run it.

Click here to download it

#! /usr/bin/python
# Check files in /etc for
# 1) files changed from the default ones
# 2) files which are contained in packages but are not conffiles
# 3) files which are not contained in any packages (though they are possibly
#    _created_ by some package at configuration time)
