running diff on install.dat file - can it be done?
I know that the install.dat file is binary (looks like a tar file of everything to be installed) and using unix's diff command won't get me what I want, but I'm wondering if there is a way to run a diff against versions (ie 2.0.5 to 2.0.6) for use in upgrading. I've made a lot of changes and not just to the templates and my list of what I need to redo for each upgrade is getting pretty long. I'm thinking at least in minor version upgrades, this might be an easier way for me to deal with this. Thx.
