instmon is a shell script that monitors installations and detects the files that were added or modified. It can be very helpful for packages that only come in source form. It can be used by system administrators and simple users alike.

Slightly changed the default search list (added /var/lib) and the
default exclude list (added /root), now uses $TMPDIR when set,
comparisons between version numbers are now done in a different
way, which is more correct for the UNIX world, fixed to work with
RPM >= 2.5.0, empty directories are now removed even more
aggressively, awk is now required, and instmon has to store some
helper scripts (currently one) in /usr/local/lib/instmon.
