The **Fedora Project** controls access to over 10,000 package management
|
|
|
|
|
repositories accessed by over 1,000 package maintainers [using
|
|
|
|
|
gitolite][fedora]. This is probably the largest *confirmed* gitolite
|
|
|
|
|
installation anywhere. The whole [big-config][bc] thing was initially done
|
|
|
|
|
for them (their config file was so big that without the big-config changes
|
|
|
|
|
gitolite would just run out of memory and die!).

The **KDE project** is currently [testing][kdet] gitolite to see if it will
|
|
|
|
|
suit their needs (in combination with redmine for issue tracking and
|
|
|
|
|
reviewboard for code review), after an initial [review of alternatives][kdera]
|
|
|
|
|
by a core group. Apart from the usual access control, the KDE folks will be
|
|
|
|
|
using many of the "ad hoc repo creation" features enabled by wildrepos and the
|
|
|
|
|
accompanying commands. Some of the changes to the "admin defined commands"
|
|
|
|
|
were inspired by KDE's needs.

**Prof. Hiren Patel** of the University of Waterloo is responsible for the
|
|
|
|
|
existence of the fairly popular "[wildrepos][wild]" feature. The
|
|
|
|
|
documentation was pretty much written with his use case in mind, but of course
|
|
|
|
|
it turns out to be useful for a lot of people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In fact, he surprised the heck out of me recently by saying that if it hadn't
|
|
|
|
|
been for this feature, he might not have used git itself -- which is a pretty
|
|
|
|
|
serious compliment if you think about the magnitude of the git project and my
|
|
|
|
|
little one-man show!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He explains his use of it [here][hiren].

**Gentoo Linux** has [just moved][gentoo1] their git repositories from gitosis
|
|
|
|
|
to gitolite. There are about 200 repositories, some of them are the so called
|
|
|
|
|
[overlays][gentoo2], official and unofficial/user overlays, plus several
|
|
|
|
|
developer and project repositories, used by more than 1000 people. That number
|
|
|
|
|
will be increased in the near future, as they are going to migrate some of
|
|
|
|
|
their CVS/SVN repositories there, plus they are offering overlays hosting for
|
|
|
|
|
users as well.
