-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2011-5139 2011-12-01 23:12:57 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 0.58 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/ Summary : Store /etc in a SCM system (git, mercurial, bzr or darcs) Description : The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, bzr or darcs repository. It hooks into yum to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that version control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with version control.
The default backend is git, if want to use a another backend please install the appropriate tool (mercurial, darcs or bzr). To use bzr as backend, please also install the etckeeper-bzr package.
To start using the package please read /usr/share/doc/etckeeper-0.58/README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Update to 0.58, a bugfix version.
From the upstream changelog:
* Changed to store all permissions of files and directories, even those with standard permissions of 644 and 755. This is unfortunately necessary in order to support etckeeper init on a checkout that was made with a nonstandard umask, in which case the files that were expected to be 644 and 755, won't be. Closes: http://bugs.debian.org/649701 Thanks to Дмитрий Матросов for reporting the bug and developing a fixup script (attached to the bug) which could be used if you've already encountered this problem. * Bugfix for filenames containing single quotes. * Use git add -A, which automatically removes deleted files, and avoids a separate call to git add -u. Thanks to Miklos Vajna, whose patch in 2008 was deferred because -A was then too new, and languished in a branch until found today. * Optimised metadata storage. * cron.daily: Don't stop committing when a stale packagelist.pre-install file exists. Thanks to gulikoza for noticing this bug.
