Hi Phil and Peter, I wondered what both you think about supporting a tool like etckeeper[1] from pkg-get and pkgutil. With the recent discussion about defaulting to /etc/opt/csw for our stuff, I'm considering packaging it up.
The tools would need to grow the idea of pre- and post- install hooks, so that etckeeper could be driven to snapshot /etc before and after packages are manipulated with the high-level tools. These hooks may be useful for other things too...it seems that apt, yum and co support a generic hook mechanism for things like this to plug in to. I've been dabbling etckeeper a bit on a few systems and I like aspects of it, although I'm still not ready to do a wholesale rollout. Thoughts?
