Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
recommends using `etckeeper unclean` to determine if there are any
changes in need of committing, which works with every VCS that
etckeeper supports. Bump PKGREVISION.
* New upstream release:
* merged Makefile patch
* update standards version, no change
* Remove pre-compiled .pyc for bzr plugin from Debian package,
and add python:Depends to Depends so that dh_python2 will install
maintainer script snippets. Unfortunately, this adds a completely
unnecessary dependency on python, which etckeeper does not need in
normal operation.
* Make etckeeper commit store metadata changes. The pre-commit
hook has always (and continues) to do that, but pre-commit is only
run when there are changes to tommit. This makes metadata-only
changes get committed.
* Move systemd files to /lib/systemd; /usr/lib/systemd is not used
on Debian.
* Optimised find for special and hard linked files.
Thanks, Rike-Benjamin Schuppner.
* Adjust when Pacman 5 calls etckeeper hooks.
Thanks, Tilman Blumenbach and Christian Hesse.
* Only run Pacman hooks when files in /etc have changed.
Thanks, Christian Hesse.
* Added systemd timer that can run etckeeper 10 minutes after boot, and also
daily. It's not enabled by default, partly because of overlap with the
cron job.
Thanks, Christian Hesse.
* Added support for pacmatic, contributed by nicolaichuk.
* bzr: make sure EMAIL is defined
Thanks, Serge E. Hallyn
* Fix Makefile version patterns to ignore non-native version number
(Antoine Beaupré)
* Support ~/.config/git/config when determining the author name and email.
Thanks, Richard Savio
* Added support for Arch's pacman package manager version 5.
Thanks, Tilman Blumenbach.
* Set HOME if it's not set, as is the case when using ubuntu's
update-manager.
* Move bash completion out of etc and into usr.
* Prepare upload to Debian unstable
* Fix Makefile version patterns to ignore non-native version number
* Fix lintian warnings:
* remove .pyc files on build
* install bash completions in standard location
* ignore missing debian/config file, we ask only on purge on purpose
* ignore full path for /usr/bin/etckeeper, we use it to stash it for
later
* Update to standards 3.9.6, no change
* Remove obsolete XS-Python-Version field
* Run debconf-updatepo, outdating a bunch of translations
* Use getent utility instead of perl. (Elan Ruusamäe)
* Initial FreeBSD support with pkgng plugin. (William Johansson)
* Fix README.md symlink in package (Sebastian Schmidt, Antoine Beaupré,
closes: #791566)
* Fix typo of GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL.
* Update git URL in control file.
* Send yum pre-commit output to /dev/null
Thanks, Andrew Colin Kissa
* Set LANG=C internally when doing some operations that have
been reported to fail in other locales.
* Fix name of DNF plugin.
* Add --version
Thanks Andreas Wansner.
* New website, http://etckeeper.branchable.com/
* Add build-depends on dh-python.
* Added support for Fedora's DNF highlevel package manager.
Thanks, Peter Listiak and Petr Spacek.
* Add architecture info to dpkg list-installed. Closes: #768145
* Orphaned the Debian package.
* Recommend cron-daemon, rather than cron, as etckeeper only needs
cron.daily functionality. Closes: #762721
* Handle failure to commit in post-install, pre-install by showing a
warning, rather than propigating the error to apt.
This avoids breaking the apt run when eg, git is misconfigured and
cannot commit.
pre-install already did this when it was able to use debconf to display a
message, but now debconf is not used, and it always behaves this way.
Closes: #760011
* Ignore check-mk-agent-logwatch's FHS violating
/etc/check_mk/logwatch.state. Closes: #753903
* Only allow [-a-z_] in etckeeper commands to avoid any possible directory
traversal etc issues.
* update-ignore, uninit: Fix parsing of ignore files containing '\'
* Portability fixes. Thanks, Harald Dunkel.
* Add support for pushing to multiple remote repositories.
Thanks, Rouben.
* Fix handling of git ignores like dir/*
Thanks, Pim van den Berg
* Fix too broad matching of .gitignored files.
Closes: #732339
* Remove lvm/backup from default ignores, because lvm
documentation recommends backing that up, for use by
vgcfgrestore.
* Fix exporting of some git variables. Closes: #728583
* Fix git update-ignore syntax. Closes: #721873
* Avoid listing .gitignored files in .etckeeper file. Closes: #607665
Thanks, Zdenek Crha
* Fix hilarious typo hardcoding my name. Closes: #718425
* Guard git config calls. Closes: #717957
* Quote user and group names, in case one contains a space.
* Added support for the pacman package manager.
(Thanks, Tiago Stürmer Daitx)
* Use user.name and user.email from the .gitconfig file belonging to the
user who sued or sudoed to root, in preference to making up values for
that user.
* cron.daily: Fix typo in stale lockfile handling code.
Closes: #717908
* Deal with unix^wlinux portability nonsense.

Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
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.
