What are people doing for putting config files in [under?] git? I'd like to have at least some system config files maintained in git so I can get a history of changes. (and yes, I know, I really should be using a backup system for that, but I'm still at the 'rsync to usb drive' stage)
For stuff that multiple people are allowed to update, I'm thinking mkdir /source # config files go in a /source/<package> dir chgrp staff source # add whoever is allowed to update configs to the 'staff' group And then for something like bind where the config files are kept in /etc/bind mkdir /source/bind Set the appropriate permissions on /source/bind, copy the files from /etc/bind & create a make file where 'make install' will do something like sudo rsync --include-from=xxx (or maybe --files-from==xxx) /etc/bind and then a 'sudo rndc reload' to tell bind to read the new files. Which seems workable but not very general. Any pointers on how to do it better? Thanks Lee
