If all the contribs are installed from rpms you can do on your old server

Code: [Select]


rpm -qa > list-rpms-old.txt

then install a fresh sme on the new server and update it with yum update. Now
[/code]
rpm -qa > list-rpms-new.txt
[/code]

then, copy list-rpms-old.txt on your new server and do a

Code: [Select]


diff list-rpms-old.txt list-rpms-new.txt


you should see the diferencies between the two

"rpm -qa --last" is also a useful command to know - it will list the installed RPMs sorted by the date on which they were installed.
