Etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git,
|
||
|
|
mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It tracks file metadata that
|
||
|
|
revison 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 revision control.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Etckeeper will use git by default although you can change that in
|
||
|
|
/etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf, assuming you have other version control
|
||
|
|
tools installed. After installing etckeeper the first time you will
|
||
|
|
need to run "etckeeper init" once to initialize the repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bzr and darcs are optional dependencies.
