Package: etckeeper Severity: wishlist Version: 0.37 Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch karmic
etckeeper currently runs "etckeeper init" in postinst, as a fix for bug 505772. However this bug suggested to run both init and commit at install-time, in order to have a working setup just after the install command. This makes sense especially as the nifty "etckeeper uninit" allows you to undo both init and commit anyway. See attached patch for proposed implementation. Hope this helps, -- Thierry Carrez
