store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs
The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial,
bzr or darcs repository. It hooks into APT 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.

etckeeper (0.33) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add support for yum. Thanks, Jimmy Tang.
.
etckeeper (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add uninit subcommand, which cleans up all etckeeper and VCS droppings
in /etc. This is useful if you want to switch to a different VCS and
don't have any history to preserve. (Preserving history and converting
is of course possible, but significantly harder.)
* Run etckeeper init on initial install. Closes: #505772
(The idea being that if someone doesn't want to use git, they can
immediatly uninit to easily reverse this.)
* Document how to change the VCS used by etckeeper, without preserving
any history. Preserving history left as an exersise for the reader.
Closes: #515237
* Implement list-installed for rpm.
* Added a spec file contributed by Jimmy Tang.
.
etckeeper (0.31) unstable; urgency=low
.

Closes: #515602

unspecified file name. Closes: #515628
.
etckeeper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add vim .*.sw? files to default ignores.
* Also add emacs #*# autosave files to default ignores.
* And DEADJOE files, for good measure.
* etckeeper update-ignore will automatically update the VCS ignore
file, only touching the part inside a "# managed by etckeeper"
comment block. (You may want to add such a comment block to your existing
.gitignore, or delete the file and regenerate it.)
* Run etckeeper update-ignore on upgrade.
* Fix handling of -d in recursive calls to etckeeper
.
etckeeper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add a daily cron job to autocommit changes to /etc. Closes: #515100

via etckeeper.conf.
(Thanks to Thierry Carrez)

filesystem. (Jelmer Vernooij)
.
etckeeper (0.26) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add Japanese debconf translation. Closes: #512869
* Prevent git from removing a directory when the last file in it

by touching a flag file before calling git rm. Closes: 513006
.
etckeeper (0.25) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fix filter_unknown calls. Closes: 509888
.
etckeeper (0.24) unstable; urgency=low

* Make .etckeeper test that files actually exist
before acting on them. Closes: #509888
.
etckeeper (0.23) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fix hook scripts to use new etckeeper path. Closes: #509742
.
etckeeper (0.22) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Move etckeeper to sbin, and man page to section 8, since only an admin
can really use etckeeper. Closes: #509152
* Mention README file from man page.
* Build using python-central. For some reason bzr does not pick up on
plugins built using python-support.
