etckeeper script for mirroring outside files

20mirror-outside-files

#!/bin/sh
set -e

# Based on nealmcb's + ErebusBat's script from http://serverfault.com/questions/211425/

# put this file in etckeeeper's commit.d directory
# in the config file set MIRROR_ROOT (somewhere under /etc) MIRROR_FILES and MIRROR_DIRS
# the latter two can contain wildcards
# all three symbols must be exported or they won't be seen by this script

# If you want other configuration data or files on the system also
# opportunistically tracked via etckeeper, use this script to copy them in.

# If there is a hook of some sort available related to the files
# you're mirroring, you can call etckeeper directly and track them
# proactively, rather than just opportunistically here.
