-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-4555 2011-04-01 17:53:06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora 14 Version : 0.53 Release : 1.fc14 URL : http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/etckeeper/ Summary : Store /etc in a SCM system (git, mercurial, bzr or darcs) Description : The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, bzr or darcs repository. It hooks into yum to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that version control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with version control. The default backend is git, if want to use a another backend please install the appropriate tool (mercurial, darcs or bzr). To use bzr as backend, please also install the etckeeper-bzr package. To start using the package please read /usr/share/doc/etckeeper-0.53/README -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 0.53, a bugfix version. >From the upstream changelog: * Install bzr hook lazily, clean up some compatibility code. * Only set environment variables for commit authorship (EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL) if they don't already exist. * Add .pyc and .pyo files to ignore. * Add lvm/backup and lvm/cache to ignore. * Avoid warning about special or hard linked files that are ignored by hg.
