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. + +Etckeeper will use git by default although you can change that in +/etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf, assuming you have other version control +tools installed. After installing etckeeper the first time you will +need to run "etckeeper init" once to initialize the repository. + +bzr and darcs are optional dependencies. |
