Package: etckeeper Version: 0.43 Severity: minor etckeeper init creates the following hooks for the Darcs backend:
record prehook etckeeper pre-commit -d /etc record run-prehook whatsnew prehook etckeeper pre-commit -d /etc whatsnew run-prehook I had a chroot which used etckeeper with Darcs. It works: # chroot /var/tmp/foo darcs whatsnew --summary --repodir /etc Prehook ran successfully. A ./.darcsignore A ./.etckeeper M ./etckeeper/etckeeper.conf -2 +2 But it gets very confused when run from outside the chroot: # darcs whatsnew --summary --repodir /var/tmp/foo/etc fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git Prehook failed! Outside of the chroot, etckeeper is installed using git. Both the host OS and the chroot guest are running up-to-date sid/amd64. Changing -d /etc to -d . appears to fail because etckeeper reads /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf (host OS, uses git), rather than <directory>/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf (guest chroot, uses darcs). This issue is merely irritating, so feel free to WONTFIX. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
