Description of problem: After an update with urpmi rpm makes .rpmnew copies of all files it knows it should not overwrite. Of course you have to look at all those files and merge any changes. A tedious and much forgotten job. This tool was available for Mandriva 2010 and should be provided for Mageia, too. It depends only on bash, so packaging for Mageia and updating should be no problem.

(In reply to comment #3) > Removing invalid whiteboard tags. Thx for packaging it, Johnny :-) If you feel like it (there is no obligation) it is valid to package it for Mageia 1 and Mageia 2, because the package was available in Mdv 2010 In that case, but you probably know, the package should go into updates for 1 and 2, and be assigned to QA with a suggested advisory

To speed-up the process, it would be ideal to provide testing steps that would allow to check that the main functionalities work. Otherwise you will have to wait for a QA team member to look through the program's documentation and find out themselves how it works.

(In reply to comment #9) I have never used it myself, so I wouldn't kno whow. Didn't even know it exsisted untill I saw this bug. Perhaps Goebel who opened the bug can provide this, as he seems to use it.
Testing complete on Mageia 2 x86-64. The program shows the diff between /etc/*.rpmnew and the same file name without the .rpmnew, and gives a numbered menu asking what should be done. Turned out I had a few .rpmnew files I'd missed. I'll test Mageia 2 i586 shortly.

I noticed this is a noarch package, so it only needs testing on one arch for each release. I've now completed testing on Mageia 1 i586. Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm etc-update-20020731-11.1.mga2 from Mageia 2 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates and the srpm etc-update-20020731-11.mga1 from Mageia 1 Core Updates Testing to Core Updates. Advisory: This update adds etc-update, a script to ease management of .rpmnew files left after package updates, that was present in Mandriva 2010.2, but missing from Mageia. https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6178
