> [etckeeper] hooks into package managers like apt to automatically commit changes made to /etc during package upgrades [to a git repository] Fedora uses libhif as a backend for PackageKit tools, such as GNOME Software. libhif doesn't use the command-line package manager, dnf, which leads to some confusing situations. E.g. PackageKit and dnf don't share caches, at least for the moment. Question: If I install etckeeper on Fedora, will it make the automatic commits before/after package installs/upgrades, if these actions are performed using PackageKit as opposed to using dnf on the command line?
