Currently dispatch-conf only supports rcs. It would be desirable if dispatch-conf gained also support for etckeeper (sys-apps/etckeeper). This is akin to bug #260623 ("git support for dispatch-conf"). Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 652750 [details, diff] 0001-dispatch-conf-Add-support-for-update-conf.d-hook-dir.patch This is a PoC implementation of update-conf.d hooks that can be used to hook etckeeper into dispatch-conf.

For example, etckeeper could hook this mechanism like the following: /etc/portage/conf-update.d/etckeeper case "${1}" in pre-update) etckeeper pre-install ;; post-update) etckeeper post-install ;; esac Currently conf-update.d hooks are called with 4 different events: - pre-session - post-session - pre-update - post-update The *-session events are emitted prior starting a new configuration update sesssion, and when it is finished. That is, the pre-session event is emitted just before dispatch-conf displays the first configuration file, and right before it exists. The *-update events are emitted before and after a configuration file has been updated. The path of the configuration file is provided as second hook argument.
