If you want this route, why re-invent the wheel? http://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper > This sounds a bit bizarre even to me, but my question is: Do you see > anything bad that could happen? Personally, for many years I'm maintaining a *selection* of /etc files in RCS (i.e: create /etc/RCS, /etc/sysconfig/RCS, etc.) Why this bizzare selection? * Originally, I used it also on many legacy Unices (HP-UX, Solaris, SGI) and it's the easiest solution I can install on a variety of OS's * A more important feature (IMO), is that RCS is handling only single files. This means that checking out an older version of specific file, cannot change (by mistake), other managed files. I was also thinking about moving to etckeeper (or similar) solution, but didn't do anything about it yet... -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://users.actcom.co.il/~oron Hi!
