Hi folks,

I wrote an article about etckeeper... that nifty thing that allows to
keep /etc under version control and thus "rollback" in case something
bad happens during an upgrade or so.

Thanks a lot. This is great. I had been looking for some tool like that for a while and had some failed attempts with SVN (failed with respect to the metadata).

Thanks for the helpful article and thanks for the pointer to the tool.

I do not see how this solves the metadata issue if you use a version
control system directly without the smartness etckeeper brings to the
table e.g. by using its .gitignore settings.

svk is an attempt to inject the notion of being a decentralized scm into
a centralized one (which svn happens to be) ... that has nothing to do
with putting /etc under version control
