Package: etckeeper Version: 0.48 Severity: wishlist
etckeeper does not take the "-m" option for the commit command as svn/git/cvs usually does. This leads to a lot of commit messages that say "-m" on my systems, as people (including myself) are used to type "commit -m 'my message'" instead of "commit 'my message'". The proposed patch removes "-m" after a commit command: --- etckeeper.orig 2011-03-28 09:02:43.000000000 +0200 +++ etckeeper 2011-03-28 09:04:31.000000000 +0200 @@ -61,6 +61,11 @@ command=pre-install fi +# remove -m for commit +if [ "$command" = "commit" -a "x$1" = "x-m" ]; then + shift 1 +fi + if [ ! -d "$ETCKEEPER_CONF_DIR/$command.d" ]; then echo "etckeeper: $ETCKEEPER_CONF_DIR/$command.d does not exist" >&2 exit 1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers squeeze-updates APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages etckeeper depends on: ii bzr 2.1.2-1 easy to use distributed version co ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.2.5-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.2.5-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi Versions of packages etckeeper recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-116 process scheduling daemon etckeeper suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information: etckeeper/commit_failed: etckeeper/purge: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
