diff/patch rootfs

[Erez D]

hello


i am dealing with rootfs images  i install on embedded linux

from time to time i update the rootfs - add some file, remove other,
update others, mknod etc ...

currently, when i do this, i need to reinstall the image

i am looking to create a patch, i can patch an old rootfs to update it

however, diff does not handle create file, remove file, special files
and binary files very well

i am looking for a tool that can do that.

anyone ?


btw: distro is emdebian/debian on armel

thanks,
erez.
