Name        : etckeeper
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 0.53
Release     : 1.el6
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-0.53/README

Update Information:

Update to 0.53, a bugfix version.

>From the upstream changelog:

* Install bzr hook lazily, clean up some compatibility code.
* Only set environment variables for commit authorship (EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL) if they don't already exist.
* Add .pyc and .pyo files to ignore.
* Add lvm/backup and lvm/cache to ignore.
* Avoid warning about special or hard linked files that are ignored by hg. Thanks Sjoerd Mullender for patch.

Furthermore we run update-ignore on package upgrade now.
