Etckeeper is basically just git, with a bit more fanciness (plugins to package management systems like apt, yum, and so forth). It also works with hg, darcs, or bzr, but git is the default. One thing to keep in mind with git is that it tracks permissions but it doesn't track timestamps. For most of /etc, timestamps probably don't matter, but the omission may be noteworthy in some instances. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical. ~ Niels Bohr _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
