-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-16718 2011-12-04 01:51:11 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora 15 Version : 0.58 Release : 1.fc15 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-0.58/README -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 0.58, a bugfix version. From the upstream changelog: * Changed to store all permissions of files and directories, even those with standard permissions of 644 and 755. This is unfortunately necessary in order to support etckeeper init on a checkout that was made with a nonstandard umask, in which case the files that were expected to be 644 and 755, won't be. Closes: http://bugs.debian.org/649701 Thanks to Дмитрий Матросов for reporting the bug and developing a fixup script (attached to the bug) which could be used if you've already encountered this problem. * Bugfix for filenames containing single quotes. * Use git add -A, which automatically removes deleted files, and avoids a separate call to git add -u. Thanks to Miklos Vajna, whose patch in 2008 was deferred because -A was then too new, and languished in a branch until found today. * Optimised metadata storage. * cron.daily: Don't stop committing when a stale packagelist.pre-install file exists. Thanks to gulikoza for noticing this bug. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Dec 1 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.58-1 - Update to 0.58. * Wed Nov 9 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.57-1 - Update to 0.57. * Wed Aug 17 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.56-2 - Rebuilt for trailing slash bug of rpm-4.9.1 * Thu Jul 21 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.56-1 - Update to 0.56. * Fri Jun 24 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.55-1 - Update to 0.55. * Wed Jun 1 2011 Thomas Moschny <[email protected]> - 0.54-1 - Update to 0.54. - Add patch for bz 709487. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
