A.3.4. Differentiating between Various Versions
To compare different versions of a file across channels and revisions, use the
-r flag to indicate which revision of the file should be compared and the -n flag to identify the two channels to be checked. Refer to Section A.3.11, “Determining the Number of File Revisions” for related instructions. Specify only one file name here, since you are comparing the file against another version of itself. For example:
rhncfg-manager diff-revisions -n=channel-label1-r=1-n=channel-label2-r=1/path/to/file.txt
The output resembles the following:
--- /tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt 2004-01-13 14:36:41 \config channel: example-channel2 revision: 1--- /tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt 2004-01-13 14:42:42 \config channel: example-channel3 revision: 1 @@ -1 +1,20 @@ -foo+blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah+-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----+Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux)+Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org++iD8DBQA9ZY6vse4XmfJPGwgRAsHcAJ9ud9dabUcdscdcqB8AZP7e0Fua0NmKsdhQCeOWHX+VsDTfen2NWdwwPaTM+S+Cow=+=Ltp2+-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
