Description of problem: etckeeper generates a /etc/.gitignore with a too eager rule: `*.rpm.*`. The rule's intent is to ignore *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave, but it also accidentally ignores /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.conf. Package Version: etckeeper-1.18.5-3.fc26.noarch Steps to Reproduce: $ grep /etc/etckeeper/update-ignore.d/01update-ignore elif [ "$LOWLEVEL_PACKAGE_MANAGER" = "rpm" ]; then comment "new and old versions of conffiles, stored by apt/rpm" ignore "*.rpm*" Expected Behavior: Option 1. The generated /etc/.gitignore should replace *.rpm* with the rules *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave. Option 2. (My preferred option). The generated /etc/.gitignore should NOT ignore *.rpmnew and *.rpmsave files at all.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
