Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2018-5a63deb7da
2018-08-01 18:18:39.001175
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.18.8
Release : 1.el6
URL :
https://etckeeper.branchable.com/
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-1.18.8/README.

Update Information:
#### etckeeper 1.18.8 #### etckeeper 1.18.8 released with these changes: -
Work around git commit's lack of robustness, by providing reasonable default
values for `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` etc. This was already done as part of the
su/sudo handling, and is now always done. - Don't hardcode the master branch
when pushing to `PUSH_REMOTE`. Instead, let git push whatever branches it is
configured to push to that remote.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update etckeeper' at the command line.
