Template: metche/email
Type: string
Default: root@localhost
Description: Email address to which the reports will be sent.
By default, metche is run periodically by a cron job which returns
reports containing changes made to:
- the changelog files,
- the watched files,
- the list of installed debian packages.
This option indicates to which email address those reports will be
sent and typically corresponds to your collective mailing-list
address.
.
See https://poivron.org/dev/metche/ for an example.
.
Note: metche is also able to use GnuPG to encrypt the email it sends,
but does not by default. See the man page and the configuration file
for more details.
Template: metche/changelog
Type: string
Description: Changelog file to be monitored.
Metche can monitor changelog files written by *you* and which should
comment the changes you made to the system. This option can be used
to activate the monitoring of a single changelog file.
.
Note that you can also change metche's configuration file for it to
monitor a set of changelog files stored in a changelog directory
instead of a single file.
Template: metche/backups
Type: string
Default: /var/lib/metche
Description: Directory containing the backups.
This option corresponds to the directory in which metche will store
the backups of the watched directories. Make sure that this backup
place is at least as secured as the source.
