Talk:Etckeeper

Note accurate?

Note This section applies only to incron version 5.10.

Why only 5.10? The current version is 5.12, so is this note saying there are no need to do this for newer versions, or that different instructions are needed, or something else? Beepboo (talk) 19:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Note outdated?

Note In /etc/passwd the root user must have its comment field (5th field) filled with root so that the commit doesn't fail

As of August 2026, this has not been necessary for me to setup etckeeper. There is no such comment in the passwd-file, and it worked. The note is probably outdated. Dassi (talk) 11:31, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
