I don't know if people are aware of it. If not, here is a simple trick to
see 'what has changed' between two versions of an executable:
ident first_executable_version second_executable_version | sort | uniq -u
For example:
ident db_purge /root/ballen/boinc/sched/db_purge | sort | uniq -u
$Id$
$Id$
I find this very helpful in reviewing what has been modifed in the various
BOINC daemons, when updating versions.
