Note that while etckeeper defaults to using git, it can use a number of other version control systems (though only distributed ones). It also has hooks to package managers.

IIRC there's something similar for configuration files in the home directory, but I did not get to look at it. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
