RPMComp can be downloaded directly from my website, if anyone is interested. It works best when comparing two .noarch.rpm versions to each other. It uses diff and rpm2cpio to provide the results.

Hopefully, I will have something on my website by Tuesday. RPM & SRPM's will be available.

If you don't get any usefull info from that exercise, I would install both src rpms used to create them and diff the source.
