I wonder is it possible to copy/duplicate all new files into /tmp/fakeroot folder during the installation process of any app or extension on the system using for e.g. apt-get install or npm install commands?
Now I see only one possible solution of this task - write some script that will monitor any changes of the entire filesystem and copy all these new files/folders to the /tmp/fakeroot directory. But the problem is that inotifywait can't watch changes from root dir and seems it will be very slow.
Can there already be a tool for this purpose?
