Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

The etckeeper program is a tool to let /etc be stored in a git, mercurial, bzr or darcs repository. It hooks into yum to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades. It tracks file metadata that version control systems do not normally support, but that is important for /etc, such as the permissions of /etc/shadow. It's quite modular and configurable, while also being simple to use if you understand the basics of working with version control. The default backend is git, if want to use a another backend please install the appropriate tool (mercurial, darcs or bzr). To use breezy as bzr backend, please also install the etckeeper-brz package. To start using the package please read /usr/share/doc/etckeeper/README.
