[Bug 862728] Re: Please stop defaulting to VCS="bzr"
Soren: let me just quote the official etckeeper documentation on this topic: "By default, etckeeper uses git. This choice has been carefully made; git is the VCS best supported by etckeeper and the VCS users are most likely to know. [ It's possible that your distribution has chosen to modify etckeeper so its default VCS is not git -- if they have please complain to them, as they're making things unnecessarily difficult for you, and causing unnecessary divergence of etckeeper installations. You should only be using etckeeper with a VCS other than git if you're in love with the other VCS. ]" Source: http://etckeeper.branchable.com/README/ Also: "Setting a repository up at install-time is a feature of etckeeper upstream (and a good one)." Bug #482417 BTW, Bug #482417 is generally complaining about the default bzr setting, too. It would be so nice to be able to either choose VCS at install-time or make the same choice via package selection (separate packages for etckeeper-git, etckeeper-bzr, etckeeper-darcs etc + if I don't want any preconfiguration, I could just install an etckeeper-common package). ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862728 Title: Please stop defaulting to VCS="bzr" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/862728/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 862728] Re: Please stop defaulting to VCS="bzr"
If you have sound technical reasons why bzr shoulnd't be the default, please elaborate. Otherwise, I don't see why this needs to change. The default has been bzr since etckeeper was added to Ubuntu. Changing the default would mean that etckeeper would be broken (i.e. will have lost its history) for people who have relied on the default. Also, many of us prefer bzr and everywhere else in Ubuntu where we have a choice between VCS's, we choose bzr, so I don't see why etckeeper should be any different. ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist => Undecided ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862728 Title: Please stop defaulting to VCS="bzr" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/862728/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I'm marking this as 'Opinion' because it clearly falls into that category. Bazaar is the Ubuntu chosen VCS. If you are experiencing specific issues, please raise them separately. As a Ubuntu developer, I would suggest that this can be Fix Released by making it a debconf option that can be preseeded if required.
