Description of problem: Hi! I use etckeeper to manage my /etc files with git. I was using CentOS 7 with yum and yum-cron before, and yum-cron would auto-commit changes to /etc files after updates. I have a Fedora 24 machine with dnf-automatic to essentially get the same automatic update behavior. dnf-automatic does not seem to load dnf plugins like etckeeper, hence changes to /etc due to updated packages are not automatically committed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@router ~]# dnf --version 1.1.10 Installed: dnf-0:1.1.10-1.fc24.noarch at 2016-08-20 14:13 Built : Fedora Project at 2016-08-18 14:39 Installed: rpm-0:4.13.0-0.rc1.27.fc24.x86_64 at 2016-07-13 19:27 Built : Fedora Project at 2016-04-25 13:45 [root@router ~]# dnf info dnf-automatic Last metadata expiration check: 1:18:30 ago on Thu Sep 1 11:58:18 2016. Installed Packages Name : dnf-automatic Arch : noarch Epoch : 0 Version : 1.1.10 Release : 1.fc24 Size : 35 k Repo : @System From repo : updates Summary : Alternative CLI to "dnf upgrade" suitable for automatic, regular execution. URL : https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf License : GPLv2+ and GPLv2 and GPL Description : Alternative CLI to "dnf upgrade" suitable for automatic, regular execution. How reproducible: Every time dnf-automatic updates packages that cause changes to files in /etc or new files in /etc. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install etckeeper dnf-automatic (Installs etckeeper, etckeeper-dnf, dnf-automatic) 2. cd /etc && etckeeper init && etckeeper commit baseline 3. Verify that etckeeper's dnf integration works by running e.g.: dnf install -y radvd etckeeper vcs log -1 Should print: commit 3cd6be4a98bab8e708d93cc8c18c51656ea2722b Author: root <root@machine> Date: Thu Sep 1 13:32:36 2016 +0200 committing changes in /etc after yum run Package changes: +0:radvd-2.11-4.fc24.x86_64 3. sed -i 's/apply_updates = no/apply_update = yes/' /etc/dnf/automatic.conf 4. systemctl enable dnf-automatic.timer && systemctl start dnf-automatic.timer 5. Wait for updates to appear Actual results: Changes to /etc are uncommitted. Expected results: Changes to /etc should be committed, like as if I would have run dnf update manually.
I create pull-request that fix the problem: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/614
Many thanks!
