etckeeper is a collection of tools to let /etc be stored in a git,
|
||
|
|
mercurial, darcs, or bzr repository. It hooks into apt (and other
|
||
|
|
package managers including yum and pacman-g2) to automatically commit
|
||
|
|
changes made to /etc during package upgrades. 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.
