Bug#607665: etckeeper: tracks permission changes to ignored files
I've run into this issue with lvm metadata backups. The /etc/lvm/archive/ is in the .gitignore file but any changes to the files inside the directory gets recorded into .etckeeper file. The server installation is fairly stable, but lvm back ups metadata daily, triggering many commits with only .etckeeper file changes and making history hard to read and search. I've attached patch against 1.7 to solve the issue for git VCS. (etckeeper 1.7 with git vcs) Regards, Zdenek Crha -- Mind over matter - I don't mind, so it don't matter. 0001-Omit-files-ignored-by-git-from-.etckeeper-file.patch Description: Binary data
Bug#607665: etckeeper: tracks permission changes to ignored files
Package: etckeeper Version: 0.50 Severity: normal If you update sudo and have local changes, you get a sudoers.dpkg-dist which is (like sudoers) mode 0440. It is not tracked by $VCS due to the *.dpkg-dist ignore. However the .etckeeper is wrongly updated with a line "maybe chmod 440 './sudoers.dpkg-dist'".
