-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2011-0036 2011-01-07 16:51:18 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 0.51 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-0.51/README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Update etckeeper to version 0.51, with these and other changes:
* Improve rpm version change detection. * Move etckeeper out of sbin, to avoid needing to work around broken root PATH settings in eg, crontab.
