Dear list,
what do you consider best practice when you want to comment out (or in)
a certain line in a configuration file? The "lineinfile" module does not
seem flexible enough for my taste.
Example: I want to change my etckeeper.conf from
# The VCS to use.
#VCS="hg"
#VCS="git"
VCS="bzr"
#VCS="darcs"
to
# The VCS to use.
#VCS="hg"
VCS="git"
#VCS="bzr"
#VCS="darcs"
In this example I could probably do it by specifying the entire line.
But what I'm looking for is something like:
- comment out all lines like ^VCS
- comment in the line like ^#VCS.*git
But in other cases I wouldn't know how the line exactly looks. I would
prefer to look for a pattern and enable that.
Puppet has Augeas support for that purpose. What would you recommend?
Kindly
…Christoph
