Package: etckeeper
Version: 0.17
Severity: wishlist
My git log contains a bunch of spurious changes to
automatically-generated files. The most commonly changed files in my
repo are:
$ cd /etc && sudo git log --raw |
grep ^: | cut -c 40- | sort |
uniq -c | sort -nr -k 1 | head -20
320 .metadata
112 resolv.conf
98 ntp.conf.dhcp
98 default/ntpdate.dhcp
69 .etckeeper
63 mailcap
49 apt/sources.list
26 passwd-
26 passwd
24 emacs-snapshot/site-start.d/00debian-vars.elc
22 shadow
22 network/interfaces
19 wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
18 gshadow-
18 group-
18 group
18 alternatives/c++
17 gshadow
14 shadow-
14 sgml/catalog
Recording auto-generated files bloats my git log and makes it harder
to find deliberate changes. I could probably fix this on a
per-machine basis with some sort of .gitignore, but if a file is going
to be auto-generated on *all* hosts, it seems to me that etckeeper
should ignore it by default (i.e. out of the box).
In particular the files ntp.conf.dhcp and default/ntpdate.dhcp are
auto-generated on any host that has them (the same is NOT true for
resolv.conf). Other files that might be worth ignoring OOTB are:
- shadow files (those ending in a hyphen)
- compiled elisp byte-code (.elc)
- alternatives (since they are managed by /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives)
- sgml/catalog file -- whatever that is; and
- X11/xdm/authdir/authfiles/* -- this appears to contain randomly
named MIT cookie files.
