In using sup, I found that -v is the only way for it to report which files have been received. However, in addition to that, it wants to tell you all the files that have been "updated" as well. I assume that "updated" simply means that "Hey, we checked your file and the host's file and you don't need to update it." Since "updated" entries account for a huge majority of -v output, it would be desirable to have a flag that tells you only the files that were replaced or deleted (or otherwise munged). This would make it easier to peruse e-mailed reports to make better decisions about rebuilding the system after an update. As it is now, I can append all the e-mail into a file, then grep out all entries except those with "updated" in them. However, this seems like an easy enhancement to have the sup program do this for you. Taking a 2000 line e-mail message on updated 'gnu' down to a dozen or two significant lines would be nice.
