yes. I suspect we will have an 'lbu diff' before 'lbu status'.

you too!

If you feel you would like to take a look on it the idea is that lbu
will find the apkovl on the media, untar it in a temp dir, create a new
temp tar thats also extracted to a temp dir and then just run diff -ru

something like:

# unpack current committed apkovl to $tmp/a
tar -C $tmp/a -zxf $path_to_mounted_media_with_apkovl

# copy the current files to $tmp/b
lbu package - | tar -C $tmp/b -zx

# run a diff
cd $tmp
diff -ru a b



Then i think we will need to use that output or those temp dirs for the
'lbu status' too.

care to take a look on it?

Thanks!
