# different ways to install gitolite
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gitolite has only one server side "command" now, much like git itself. And
|
||
|
|
it's been designed so that you don't even really have to *install* it, as you
|
||
|
|
will see.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## simplest
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Put all of `src` in one place, doesn't matter where; let's call it
|
||
|
|
/foo/bar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Use the full path to run any gitolite commands, for example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/foo/bar/gitolite setup -pk sitaram.pub
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## almost as simple
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. (same as above)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Symlink /foo/bar/gitolite to some directory that is on your PATH. For
|
||
|
|
example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ln -sf /foo/bar/gitolite ~/bin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can just say
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gitolite setup -pk sitaram.pub
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## packagers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Put src/Gitolite in `/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl` or some such place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Put the rest of src anywhere your distro policy allows. (Fedora keeps
|
||
|
|
git's 150 executables in /usr/libexec/git-core, so maybe
|
||
|
|
/usr/libexec/gitolite?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Symlink 'gitolite' to /usr/bin or something, similar to step 2 above,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Put it directly in /usr/bin, and hardcode `GL_BINDIR` into it to tell it
|
||
|
|
where the others are. I'd prefer it if you did not do this but you can.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bottom line:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `GL_BINDIR` must point to a place that contains `commands`, `VREF`, and
|
||
|
|
`syntactic-sugar` (so they must all be sibling directories).
|
||
|
|
* The `Gitolite` directory can also be there, or it can be anywhere in
|
||
|
|
perl's `@INC` path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## upgrading
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just put the new version on top of wherever you kept the old one. That's it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you feel it should require a little more effort, pretend I said "you have
|
||
|
|
to then run `gitolite setup`". Can't hurt...
