To correct .rpmnew proliferation, you can also use this small script that
removes unnecessary files, and display name of really modified ones:
#!/bin/bash
# Find files which really change
if [ $# != 2 ] ; then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` directory suffix"
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d "$1" ] ; then
echo "Directory $1 not found"
exit 1
fi
for new_file in `find $1 -name *.$2`; do
old_file=${new_file/.$2}
change=`diff $old_file $new_file`
if [ -n "$change" ]; then
echo "$old_file has changed"
else
rm -f $new_file
fi
done
