My repository lives in /usr/local (and, accordingly, is backed up, unlike the root partition with the real /etc on it). I am probably not quite consistent in the sense that I don't keep ALL my configuration under control, but pieces of it - certainly. Of course, I only keep those things that I modify in some serious and not easily recoverable way. I do not see much need to keep all of the default settings that I never touch under version control. As a from-memory example of what I do keep under version control - /etc/mail. You don't need a reminder to set up permissions properly, i suppose. I am sure experienced people will point out that a more comprehensive solution would be to keep your puppet or similar configuration under version control, but it may be a serious overkill for a couple of (home) computers. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org <o...@goldshmidt.org>
