I use etckeeper on several systems, including my laptop, that has pretty frequent activities below /etc. It used to pop up frequently in its earliest versions, but since long (6 months, I guess, if not longer) I have had no interaction with it. So perhaps it is time to test once more, if it was bugs since fixed. >I did ask for svk support in etckeeper to be able to migrate to it, but >do not believe anyone implemented it yet. After testing etckeeper, I >am not sure we want to. I could imagine Joey has no "itch to scratch" regarding support for slower backends. So someone else probably have to do the - seemingly little - work to add such support. I never used SVK, so don't know if it has some limitations for the approach used by etckeeper. But it seems pretty simple to add hooks - see the (many, but small and simple) shell hooks below /etc/etckeeper/ >We use svk because it allow us to keep /etc/ in version control without >any files showing up in /etc/ to indicate that it is being done, and >thus no confusion about for example .svn files in /etc/ will arrive. :) etckeeper init -d /whereeveryouwant - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEUEARECAAYFAkk32lcACgkQn7DbMsAkQLjBTwCfTmkXH6hXcN9l2HW0tmVCELrd ATEAljY32+HKM8Oth7sGVv1N9PK3qIA= =02zF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
