Description Alexander Sulfrian 2009-02-28 15:00:43 UTC

Currently dispatch-conf does only supports rcs to archive old configs. This patch add the ability to store the configs in a git repository containing the whole /etc/ directory.

Patch is mainly based on a old patch of hollow from https://my.newthinking.de/~bbo/portage-2.1.4.4-git-dispatch-conf.patch. I have ported this to the recent portage version and added the patch to the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

I've converted your patch from second-order to first-order.

    dispatch-conf: Add support for conf-update.d hook directory
    
    Those hooks can be used by tools that manage /etc to get notified
    about updated configuration files. 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.
