CFG2SCM - Check configuration changes into SCM
SYNOPSIS
cfg2scm.pl --all --check-consistency --storage=svn|cvs|tar|tar.gz|tar.bz2 --outfile=file --base-url=url --reposi-
tory=name --username=username --password=password --message=commit message --help --version
DESCRIPTION
Check configuration changes into SCM (like SVN, CVS, ... or tar file)
OPTIONS
--storage=svn|cvs|tar|tar.gz|tar.bz2
type of storage, either "svn", "cvs", "tar", "tar.gz" or "tar.bz2"
--outfile=file
This option only works with storage-types tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2. The extension is set automatically, if not
given.
--base-url=url
url
--repository=name
name
--username=username
username
--password=password
password
--message=commit message
commit message
--help
Prints a short summary of options.
--version
Prints the cfg2scm.pl version
--all
This is a short key for --check-consistency --find-unpacked
--check-consistency
This option checks the consistency of configurations-files as declared in the RPMs, by invoking rpm -Vca. It
produces a file /var/lib/support/Configuration_Consistency.include, which is preserved between different
cfg2scm.pl-runs. The list contains all names of configuration files, which are tagged as configuration files
within the RPMs and were changed compared to the release shipped within the RPMs.
The following standard cfg2scm.pl-run includes the file /var/lib/support/Configuration_Consistency.include,
as described below (section FILES) and commits the full content of the changed files.
Please note, that this really might need a long time (from 5-20 minutes).
--find-unpacked
Find files below /etc, that do not belong to any RPM, and for that reason should be documented. A file
/var/lib/support/Find_Unpacked.include is written as "cache".
FILES file-lists in /var/lib/support/
From a tool called "PaDS" by Thorsten Wandersmann cfg2scm.pl inherited the ability, to extend the list of config-
uration files. To achieve that, just put a perl-snippet in the directory "/var/lib/support/"; this snippet must
have the extension ".include" and may include only one perl-statement: an array-declaration for the array @files,
that contains the file-names with full path, see EXAMPLES below.
See also --check-consistency and --find-unpacked above.
configuration files
cfg2scm is able to use a configuration file, currently: /etc/sysconfig/cfg2scm. On SUSE Linux systems, this file
can be changed also using YaST's sysconfig-editor (System/Monitoring/cfg2scm). The parameters in this file
directly correspond global variables in cfg2scm:

EXAMPLES
Check configuration files and commit everything.
"cfg2scm.pl --check-consistency"
A typical file to include the configurations files of the application "foobar" could look like this:
# /var/lib/support/foobar.include
@files= (
"/etc/opt/foobar/foo.conf",
"/etc/opt/foobar/bar.conf"
);
# eof
