I would like to be able to create a list of all of the configuration
files I have changed / created since installation. Mainly to make it
easy if I wanted to rebuild my system from scratch.
I can get a list of installed packages easily enough (dpkg-query).
I can use the cruft package to find files I have added to /etc (and
other places if necessary).
But I'm not sure of the best way to generate a list of files I have
changed. I could use "dpkg --contents" for each package to get a list of
files in the package and compare timestamps/sizes. But this only works
if the ".deb" files are still in /var/cache/apt/archives. Is there a
better way, such as cached MD5 sums somewhere?
Thanks,
Paul
