[Spacewalk-list] How is the new configurable rhncfg-client diff meant to be used?

[Snyder, Chris]

Was there ever any answer on this?  I haven't found anything in the archives and I'm looking for the exact same thing.  

Being able to see all diff output via the gui is really important for my environment.

Thx
Chris.

Hi list,

as one feature/fix for 1.9 the release notes state, that the
configuration file diff is now configurable. I tried to get the idea
behind it and this is what I have so far:

The new option "display_diff = True" is needed in file
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhncfg-client.conf (when one wants to allow diff on
root/nonworld readable files without the need to provide the flag "-d").
At least this brings back working diff of config files in cli. But I
thought it would also be evaluated for the webgui. But does it is not.
Diffs initiated frpm the webgui still show:

"Differences exist in a file that is not readable by all. Re-deployment
of configuration file is recommended."

With the proper config in rhncfg-client.conf and fix from BZ#903534
(this is in SW1.9). I thought this would all work and we are back to the
functionality as in SW1.7.

Shouldn't the new parameter display_diff be added to the default config
as provided by rhncfg-client rpm? In git I can see that it is there, but
not in release rpms.
