You have been able to do it with mergemaster for quite some time
now. How I do this is to add
MM_PRE_COMPARE_SCRIPT='/path/to/my/mmprecompare.sh'
to my (and hence root .. I use sudo) .mergemasterrc file. And
mmprecompare.sh consists of:
<----------------- snip ---------------------------->
#! /bin/sh
# Create a log file ??
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
LOGFILE="/tmp/mergemaster-${DATE}"
# Ignore these files
IGNORE_LIST="/.cshrc \
/etc/mail/aliases \
/etc/csh.cshrc \
/etc/csh.login \
/etc/dhclient.conf \
/etc/group \
/etc/hosts \
/etc/hosts.allow \
/etc/hosts.equiv \
/etc/hosts.lpd \
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf \
/etc/master.passwd \
/etc/namedb/PROTO.localhost.rev \
/etc/namedb/make-localhost \
/etc/namedb/named.conf \
/etc/namedb/named.root \
/etc/newsyslog.conf \
/etc/printcap \
/etc/ssh/ssh_config \
/etc/ssh/sshd_config \
/etc/syslog.conf \
/etc/ttys \
/root/.cshrc \
/root/.login"
#
# remove w/o complaint the files in question
#
for IGNORE in ${IGNORE_LIST}
do
#
IDENT1=`ident "${DESTDIR}${IGNORE}" 2>&1`
IDENT2=`ident "${TEMPROOT}${IGNORE}" 2>&1`
case "${IDENT2}" in
*'no id keywords'*)
;;
."${IDENT1}")
# No worries ???
# echo " *** ${DESTDIR}${IGNORE} is the same ***" | tee "${LOGFILE}"
;;
*)
# Ruh-Roh!
echo " *** ${DESTDIR}${IGNORE} has changed! ***" | tee "${LOGFILE}"
;;
esac
#
rm "${TEMPROOT}${IGNORE}"
done
