-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3489 2011-06-04 01:06:34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 0.54 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-0.54/README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Update to 0.54, a bugfix version. From the upstream changelog:
* Ignore inssev's FHS violating /etc/init.d/.depend.* files. * Use hg pre-commit hook, rather than its precommit hook, as the latter is run after the files staged for commit are determined and so .etckeeper cannot be staged as part of the current commit.
Furthermore, we include a patch to fix error propagation to yum, which makes AVOID_COMMIT_BEFORE_INSTALL work (bz 709487). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:

This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update etckeeper' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
