-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3660 2011-06-29 17:59:58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : etckeeper Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 0.55 Release : 1.el5 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-0.55/README -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 0.55, a bugfix version. From the upstream changelog: * Avoid being noisy in post-install after automatic yum updates. (Tuomo Soini) * Ignore FHS violating prelink.cache and openvpn-status.log. * Ignore *.LOCK files, as used by selinux policies. * Add AVOID_SPECIAL_FILE_WARNING to config file, and set it in cron job to avoid daily noise.
