Package: etckeeper Version: 0.23 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
The attached patch adds support for using darcs as backend. While darcs isn't the best choice for etckeeper (because of lack of support for file permissions - namely the exec bit - and simbolic links), it can be handy for people like me that use a vcs only once in a while and are used to darcs. Please note that the attached patch changes the apt pre-install invocation from 'Pre-Install-Pkgs' to 'Pre-Invoke'. It seems to me that etckeeper doesn't use the package names received on the stdin and I think there's no other (substantial) difference between these two hooks. OTH, this allows the use of darcs w/o the -a option to the record command (commit w/o confirmation) and it's useful for examining automatic pre-install commits.
