[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#645497: puppet-common: Have etckeeper-commit-{pre, post} scripts check etckeeper unclean

[Andreas Olsson]

Package: puppet-common
Version: 2.7.5-3
Severity: wishlist

I would like to suggest an addition to the
/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-{pre,post} helper scripts.

The existens of uncommitted changes can be checked for by running
"etckeeper unclean", which returns true if there are changes to be
commited. Hence it might be slightly tidier to have something like
this, before running the etckeeper commit command.

etckeeper unclean || exit 0
