1 * use debconf for the pre-apt prompting, so it will work better when run from
4 * keep an origin branch with the files debian ships
6 Not sure quite how to do this yet, it seems it would need to clone
7 the repo, switch to origin, and commit, then push back to /etc,
8 and either merge origin or commit a second time.
9 And do this after apt runs only, of course.
11 Alternatively, commit in /etc, then clone the repo, switch to origin, and
12 cherry pick the commit into origin?
14 Of coure, unless etckeeper is installed by debootstrap or thereabouts,
15 you won't have a true pristine origin branch.
19 One way to split it would be to put private (non-world-readable) files
20 in one repo, and public in another. This would need either symlink
21 farming or git "fake bare" repos, both of which are not pleasant, yet.
23 Another way would be to allow splitting out subdirs into their own
24 repos. This is already doable, would just need modifying the pre-apt and
25 post-apt stuff (ie, it needs to commit in the subdirs too). Using
26 mr would be a possibility..
