Further improve file diff when upgrading package #196

Open vn971 opened 1 year ago

vn971 commented 1 year ago

Merge request https://github.com/vn971/rua/pull/192 has introduced a new command to check new files that would be created on filesystem upon package installation. It would, however, be a bit cleaner, if instead of looking at the filesystem, we would look at the contents of the old package and report a pure diff from it. Thus disregarding that the user might have done with their local filesystem.

The feature request is to improve the currently existing command to look at old package contents (can be easily done with a single pacman command) and compare with the new contents we already have in code at that point.
