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
