Package: etckeeper Version: 0.47ubuntu1 Severity: important I have a fresh install of Ubuntu (however, etckeeper is a Debian package, and it doesn't appear to be doing anything Ubuntu specific here, hence I'm reporting it here. My apologies if this is in error).
I installed Mercurial and etckeeper 0.47, then modified /etc/etckeeper.conf to set the VCS to "hg". I ran: sudo etckeeper init then ran: sudo etckeeper commit "Initial commit". This second command failed with: abort: no username supplied (see "hg help config") I created a file /home/victorhooi/.hgrc, and added in it the appropriate hg [ui]/username section. I tried to run commit again, and it failed again. I then created a /root/.hgrc file, and added [ui]/username to this. The commit was then able to go through. However, it appears that under Mercurial, commits via etckeeper are logged under root, always, even if you run it as sudo. This appears to contradict the man page, which at least in my version states that etckeeper will notice if it is being run sudo, and log the underlying user. Any subsequent commits I do with etckeeper seem to use the /root/.hgrc, as opposed to my user's hgrc file. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers maverick-updates APT policy: (500, 'maverick-updates'), (500, 'maverick-security'), (500, 'maverick') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-8-server (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages etckeeper depends on: ii bzr 2.1.2-1 easy to use distributed version co ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32ubuntu1 Debian configuration management sy ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.1-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.1-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii mercurial 1.5.4-1 scalable distributed version contr Versions of packages etckeeper recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-113ubuntu1 process scheduling daemon etckeeper suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf changed: VCS="hg" GIT_COMMIT_OPTIONS="" HG_COMMIT_OPTIONS="" BZR_COMMIT_OPTIONS="" DARCS_COMMIT_OPTIONS="-a" HIGHLEVEL_PACKAGE_MANAGER=apt LOWLEVEL_PACKAGE_MANAGER=dpkg -- debconf information: etckeeper/commit_failed: etckeeper/purge: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
