* 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.
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.
