Bug Description
Binary package hint: etckeeper
I have etckeeper configured with a near-default configuration except that I am using hg, not bzr.
When a daily autocommit occurs with changes present, the following is emailed to root by cron:
/etc/cron.
No username found, using 'root@hostname' instead
This is hg reporting that it is falling back to an autodetected username for the commit. I propose that this be fixed like this:
--- etckeeper_
+++ /etc/cron.
@@ -2,6 +2,9 @@
set -e
if [ -x /usr/sbin/etckeeper ] && [ -e /etc/etckeeper/
. /etc/etckeeper/
+ if [ "$VCS" = hg ]; then
+ export HGUSER=
+ fi
if [ "$AVOID_
if etckeeper unclean; then
etckeeper commit "daily autocommit" >/dev/null
