[rancid] ASA Time-Based License Diff Removal

[Christopher DeRemer]

Hello all,

I just updated our license in an ASA 5520 and now they have "time-based licenses" for your subscription based services... in this case the bot-net filter. I would like to prevent a daily count-down diff like the one seen below. Can someone help me filter this out, I'm not very good at the expect and other code work.

Example:

Index: configs/10.10.1.254
===================================================================
- -- configs/10.10.1.254 (revision 251)
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
!
!This platform has an ASA 5520 VPN Plus license.
- !This platform has a time-based license that will expire in 364 day(s).
+ !This platform has a time-based license that will expire in 363 day(s).

Cheers,

Could filter it until its < 10 days to expiration like this:
