[Update 2009-11-18: easy install now works from msysgit also!]
+Gitolite is somewhat unusual as far as "server" software goes -- every userid
+on the system is a potential "gitolite host" and can install his own version
+if he chooses to.
+
This document tells you how to install gitolite. After the install is done,
you may want to see the [admin document][admin] for adding users, repos, etc.
[admin]: http://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite/blob/pu/doc/2-admin.mkd
-There's an easy install script that requires bash (**strongly** recommended),
-but if you have no bash or you're on one of the legacy Unixes there's a
-slightly more manual process. Both are explained here.

-### easy install
+### install methods
+
+There are 2 ways to install gitolite: The **user-install** mode was the
+traditional way, and is used when *any* of the following is true:
+
+ * you don't have root on your "server" (some types of hosting setups, many
+ corporate paranoia setups ;-)
+ * your server distro does not have gitolite in its package repositories
+ * your server distro's package repositories have an old version of gitolite
+ * you want to stay current with the latest gitolite versions
+ * your server is not Linux (maybe AIX, or Solaris, etc.)
+
+The "user install" section describes this method.
+
+The **system-install followed by user-setup** mode is used when you (or
+someone who has root) has installed an RPM or DEB of gitolite and you intend
+to use that version.
+
+The "system install / user setup" section describes this method.

limited case.
+### system install / user setup
+
+In this mode a system administrator installs gitolite using the server's
+distro package mechanism (yum install, apt-get install, etc).
+
+Once this is done, you as a user must run a command like this (unlike in the
+"user install" mode, this is done directly on the server):
+
+ gl-setup yourname.pub
+
+where yourname.pub is a copy of a public key from your workstation. The first
+time you run this, it will create a "gitolite-admin" repo and populate it with
+the right configuration for whoever has the corresponding private key to
+clone and push it. In other words, that person is the administrator for this
+particular gitolite instance.
+
+If your system administrator upgrades gitolite itself, things will usually
+just work without any change; you should not have to do anything special.
+However, some new features may require additional settings in your
+`~/.gitolite.rc` file.
+
+Finally, in the rare case that you managed to lose your keys to the admin repo
+and want to supply a new pubkey, you can use this command to replace any such
+key. Could be useful in an emergency -- just get your new "yourname.pub" to
+the server and run the same command as above.
+
+**IMPORTANT**: there are two variables in the `~/.gitolite.rc` file:
+`$GL_PACKAGE_CONF` and `$GL_PACKAGE_HOOKS`. If you remove or change either of
+them, expect trouble :-)

+
+### appendix C: NOTE TO PACKAGE MAINTAINERS
+
+Here's how you'd package gitolite. In the following description, location "X"
+can be, say, `/usr/share/gitolite/conf` or some such, and similarly location
+"Y" can be perhaps `/usr/share/gitolite/hooks`. It's upto your distro
+policies where they are.
+
+These are the content changes needed (no trailing slashes in the location
+values please):
+
+ * `gl-setup` should have the following line:
+
+ GL_PACKAGE_CONF="X"
+
+ * `example.gitolite.rc` should have the following lines:
+
+ $GL_PACKAGE_CONF="X";
+ $GL_PACKAGE_HOOKS="Y";
+
+This is where the files should be installed:
+
+ * everything in "src" goes somewhere on the PATH
+ * everything in "conf" goes to location "X"
+ * everything in "hooks" goes to location "Y"
+
+You might also want to delete the `gl-easy-install` script, since that is
+meant for a totally different mode of installation and probably would *not*
+work if a user tried to run it :-)
+
+On the initial install, you could also choose to setup a userid called
+"gitolite", and run "gl-setup" as that user; however I do not know how you
+would come up with the initial pubkey that is needed. Anyway, the point is
+that the "gitolite" user is no more special than any other in terms of hosting
+gitolite. Any user can host it by just running "gl-setup".
+
+When you upgrade, just overwrite all the files; it'll all just work. In fact,
+other than the initial "gl-setup" run, the only time a gitolite hosting user
+has to actually do anything is to edit their own `~/.gitolite.rc` file if they
+want to enable or disable specific features.
