custom perm categories in setperms (WARNING: PLEASE READ FULL COMMIT MESSAGE) THE COMPILED CONFIG FILE FORMAT CHANGES WITH THIS VERSION. PLEASE DO NOT MIX VERSIONS OR DOWNGRADE. Upgrading using normal gitolite upgrade means should be fine, though. Originally, we only allowed "R" and "RW" as categories of users supplied to the `setperms` command. These map respectively to "READERS" and "WRITERS" in the access rules. Now: - we prefer READERS instead of R and WRITERS instead of RW - we allow the admin to define other categories as she wishes (example: MANAGERS, TESTERS, etc). These do not have abbreviations, however, so they must be supplied in full. PLEASE, PLEASE, read the section in doc/wildcard-repositories.mkd for more info. This is a VERY powerful feature and if you're not careful you could mess up the ACLs nicely. Backward compat note: you can continue to use the "R" and "RW" categories when running the "setperms" command, and gitolite will internally convert them to READERS and WRITERS categories. ---- implementation notes: - new RC var called GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS that is a space-sep list of the allowed categories in a gl-perms file; defaults to "R RW" if not specified - wild_repo_rights no longer returns $c, $r, $wC, where $r = $user if "R $user", $r = '@all' if "R @all", and similarly with $w and "RW". Instead it returns $c and a new hash that effectively gives the same info, but expanded to include any other valid categories (listed in GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS) - consequently, the arguments that parse_acl takes also change the same way - (side note: R and RW are quietly converted to READERS and WRITERS; however, new categories that you define yourself do not have abbreviations) - setperms validates perms to make sure only allowed categories are used; however even if someone changed them behind the scenes, wild_repo_rights will also check. This is necessary in case the admin tightened up GL_WILDREPOS_PERM_CATS after someone had already setperms-d his repos. - as a bonus, we eliminate all the post-Dumper shenanigans, at least for READERS and WRITERS. Those two now look, to the compile script, just like any other usernames. 2010-11-06 06:16:17 +01:00			`READERS u5`
			`WRITERS u6`
finally, open up my secret test scripts... ...after getting rid of most of the hardcoding (though not all!) 2010-06-12 07:33:53 +02:00
