PacDiff comparisons (feddit.uk)

I have a few devices running Arch... Rasperrys, laptops, a NAS, etc

After an update I'll run pacdiff to check for any updated configurations to look out for.

On the laptops I'll use meld to compare and it's nice to visually pick and choose what to update.

But for the headless units, I'm using vimdiff and it's sometimes difficult to see what to change - esp. when a few lines in a block of changes needs picking and choosing.

What other approaches are you using for this?

Thanks. Interesting points to look at there. I like the look of riff for config comparison we do at work too - thanks!
