Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-59d31649de
2016-08-30 18:16:41.395969
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper
Product : Fedora 25
Version : 1.18.5
Release : 1.fc25
URL :
http://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/README.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update etckeeper to 1.18.5. Relevant changes from the upstream changelog: *
Make etckeeper commit store metadata changes. The pre-commit hook has always
(and continues) to do that, but pre-commit is only run when there are changes to
tommit. This makes metadata-only changes get committed.
