Hi,
I'm trying to build a repository of the system configuration files in /etc. Named is installed in a chroot jail in /var/named/chroot/var/named/data . I'm interested in getting both the regular etc files and the named ones in the same repository since I use branches to stage changes and it makes life easier when adding an apache virtual host and a name server entry at the same time.
I've tried unifying the directory structure by symlinking them, but git refuses to add that path:
[root@ns1 etc]# ln -s /var/named/chroot/var/named/ named-chroot [root@ns1 etc]# git add named-chroot/* fatal: 'named-chroot/xxx.xxx' is beyond a symbolic link
I've googled for 'git symlink' but I found no relevant information.
Is there another way of joining these directories into one repository?
Thanks,
Robert
