Is there any way to use some sort of revision control for .deb installs, outside of snapshots on a VM?

Not sure how your question is related to freeradius, but in general you'd always need some kind of snapshot for that, though not necessarily have to be on a VM. I use btrfs for "/" under Ubuntu 10.10, and snapshot works just fine. -- Fajar

I assume this relates to your other posts. You don't need to version-control the binaries. You only need to version-control the config directory /etc/raddb, and you can do this with any version control system. One of the new DVCSes are is a good choice for this (e.g. git, bzr, hg)

I use etckeeper for this task. It keeps /etc in git (or hg or bzr) and is automagically updated whenever the package system is run. Or manually by the admin, if he chooses to do so. Grüße, Sven. -- Sig lost. Core dumped.
