eopkg-audit

eopkg-audit is a command-line utility which audits system files against the eopkg database to find discrepancies such as added or deleted files. The existing eopkg check utility can detected deleted or modified files, but does not search system directories to find files that were manually added outside of eopkg.

This command should work much faster than eopkg check as it doesn't compare the contents of each file to check for modification.

Installation

eopkg-audit is a one-file script. Run make install using the provided Makefile to install it to the system. The PREFIX variable is honored. To install to your home directory bin folder, run make PREFIX=$HOME install.

Output

• Any file recorded in the eopkg database not found in the system is prefixed with "-"
• Any file found in the system directories not recorded in the eopkg database is prefixed with "+"

Usage

usage: eopkg-audit [-h] [-a] [-d] [-c CONFIG] [-i PATH] [-I PATTERN]
                   [--dump-config]
                   [paths [paths ...]]

Audits system files against the eopkg database, showing files that have been
manually added or deleted in any directory eopkg has installed to.

positional arguments:
  paths                 list of directories to search

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a, --added           show only system files that are added outside of eopkg
  -d, --deleted         show only system files that are deleted outside of
                        eopkg
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        path to optional configuration file
  -i PATH, --ignore PATH
                        path to a file or directory to ignore (may be given
                        multiple times; if a directory is given, all files and
                        subdirectories beneath it will be ignored)
  -I PATTERN, --ignore-pattern PATTERN
                        regular expression pattern to ignore matches
  --dump-config         dump the default config JSON (useful for writing your
                        own config file)

A configuration file can be specified by argument or will automatically be
read from ~/.config/eopkg-audit/config.json. Use the --dump-config switch to
dump the default configuration, save it to the default config location, and
modify as needed. The configuration file should consist of a JSON dict with
the following key-value pairs. 'ignore': list of paths; 'ignore_pattern': list
of patterns

Dependencies

This should be usable on any Solus machine, provided that eopkg works.
