Version Control for conf/rc/... files
|

| Richard Lefebvre 2005-02-07, 6:00 pm |
| Hi,
Does someone has some software (or frontend to RCS) that is made for
keeping versions conf/rc/... type of file (i.e. /etc/profile,
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, /etc/hosts, ...). Every CVS, subversion, ...
are geared for project source code, or documents. What I'm looking
for is a a way to keep track of all those config files that can be
left and right in a unix setup. The thing I want to evade is create
a CVS directory next to every one of those files. I'd like a single
Repository (say /root/VERSIONS) with the same subtree directories
inside or an indication of the file inside the revision files.
I have search for something like that, but I couldn't find anything
Is there something made for sys-admins?
Richard

You could probably set up a CVS repository that has different modules
of sorts for different parts of the hierarchy. Personally, I just use
SCCS and have SCCS directories at various places in the hierarchy for
now. I need to read the SCCS and RCS book and figure out if there is
in fact a better way to do that.
