I was looking for a way to find all the crud I'd stashed in my system directories over the years.
So I wrote a script to check all the directories that eopkg installs to and report any files that are added or removed compared to the eopkg database. You can use it to see what's inside of your system directories that are not managed by eopkg.
If you're interested, you can get it here: https://github.com/tomocafe/eopkg-audit
Installation instructions are in the README, but you can simply make install for a system install, or make PREFIX=$HOME install to install in your personal home directory.
I tried to use sane defaults for filtering out things that are not useful to see, so if you see something you think should be filtered out, please let me know. For the technical among you, here is the current list of default root directories and patterns to ignore:
config = {
'ignore': [
'/etc/',
'/run/',
'/var/',
'/usr/lib/kernel/',
'/usr/lib/systemd/system/',
'/usr/lib/sysusers.d/',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/',
'/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/',
'/usr/lib/ruby/gems/',
'/usr/lib/firefox/'
],
'ignore_pattern': [
'\.pyc$',
'/\.uuid$',
'icon-theme.cache$'
]
}
Here's what my output looks like:

Some of this stuff I forgot I added some time ago. 🙂
