etckeeper 0.54 released with these changes Ignore inssev's FHS violating /etc/init.d/.depend.* files. Closes: #619407 See #619409 Use hg pre-commit hook, rather than its precommit hook, as the latter is run after the files staged for commit are determined and so .etckeeper cannot be staged as part of the current commit. Closes: #621827

etckeeper 0.49 released with these changes Ensure that PATH contains the directory containing etckeeper, so that hook scripts that re-exec etckeeper are guaranteed to find it.

Closes: #583581 hg: Set HGUSER (if not already set) to avoid warning message when ... [More] committing. Closes: #533298 Both git and bzr default to showing the author of a commit, and not the committer. So, set the author to the user running sudo for both. The committer will then be root. [Less]

etckeeper 0.46 released with these changes Support etckeeper commit --stdin Fix bug where after a large upgrade, etckeeper's automatic commit message was so long it exceeded command line length limits. Closes: #581678
