Package: etckeeper
Severity: wishlist
I use the following on a server to track the list of installed packages
along with the rest of /etc:
/etc$ cat etckeeper/post-install.d/00local-package-list
#!/bin/sh
dpkg-query -W -f '${Status}\t${Package} ${Version}\n' | grep 'ok installed' |
cut -f2,3 > /etc/packages
sort-dctrl < /var/lib/apt/extended_states > /etc/package-extended-states
You might consider adding it as an example in documentation, or even
better, using it by default with an option in etckeeper.conf to turn it
off.
Thanks,
Josh Triplett

Closing this bug report for the same reason as #519420. Nice idea, will
not implement by default, certainly not in the Debian package. Feel free
to b ring it up upstream.

Hi,
I don't think the Debian package of etckeeper will implement this. Lunar
has a good hook you can install if you do want that feature, but I don't
think it's up to me as a maintainer to force this on everyone.
My opinion is that apt, dpkg and unattended-upgrades all have perfectly
good logs for you to audit the state of your system, you shouldn't
duplicate this in your git history.
Feel free to take this discussion upstream, if you really want this to
be part of etckeeper:
https://etckeeper.branchable.com/
... but for now, I think we can let this one rest.
