I made http://sysinf0.klabs.be for this purpose : publish all the package/files so one can retrieve and diff any arbitrary file (including default configuration file, documentation, manpages, scripts...) sysinf0 still lacks a three important features : 1. Per-package browser 2. Track Debian/sid and testing (daily updates...) 3. Provide hints/directions for search engines (I can't let google index all 10 millions files !) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
