Sitaram Chamarty cc8ccab924 (http) gitolite without ssh? smart http support is here!
As usual there's more documentation than code.

Unlike usual, however, this isn't completely tested.  Please read the
documentation for details of what works, what doesn't, what has been
tested, what hasn't, and so on.

Sitaram Chamarty 52e0ed3488 (http) auth: handle REQUEST_URI and friends
TODO: if the verb doesn't actually contain "git-receive-pack", I am
assuming it is some sort of read.  The list in services[] in
http-backend.c does not seem to look like any other verb is a "write";
need to check this with someone.

For normal git commands:
  - PATH_INFO gives you the repo name
  - REQUEST_URI gives you the verb
  - we construct a fake SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND so the rest of the
    processing does not have to change

For our special commands:
  - PATH_INFO is actually the verb
  - QUERY_STRING has the parameters
  - we again fake out the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
  - we print the extra HTTP headers in anticipation of the actual output

Either way, we also fake out the SSH_CONNECTION so that the IP address
can get logged ok

And of course REMOTE_USER is now the incoming userid

Finally, at the end, we exec GIT_HTTP_BACKEND instead of the normal one

Sitaram Chamarty a9e9f98a7e (minor) fixup to post-update hook 2010-09-05 20:46:58 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 6b93678ac6 (minor) sshkeys-lint prints correct path to run in instructions 2010-09-04 18:08:29 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 7b633049be refactored and lifted out the line parse part from inside parse_conf_file
adapted from code by kpfleming@digium.com.  I basically cherry-picked
the top commit on "pu-work" (30068d1) on his fork at github, and made
some minor fixups to it
2010-09-04 15:03:06 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 5f342c0444 more doc revamp; some notes below
- all anchors prefixed by AUTO_ now
  - some bad links fixed (maybe still a few I didn't catch)
  - misc wording changes/additions (support section to README,
    "technical skills" section to install doc, etc).

Sitaram Chamarty 3559c1190e autotoc deletes/re-creates only its own anchors so you can add your own 2010-09-04 03:05:28 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 2cf382ca4e (minor) some doc typos 2010-09-03 09:02:47 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 07d07cc5f6 rmrepo alternative 2 was too lax
it would have allowed deleting a non-wild repo too!  Fixed.

Sitaram Chamarty 6c48647c15 (more ssh documentation shenanigans) 2010-09-01 12:43:35 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty c1bd3ca69c umpteenth doc revamp...
because someone else found the doc overwhelming.  However, the suggested
reading order (which so far existed only on the wiki) was probably a
good thing to have at the top of the README, and the disclaimers about
ssh may help keep my sanity a little longer ;-)
2010-08-27 16:54:38 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 1d566ac46b a bit of optimisation to help another one along
(thanks to reuss for telling me about the problem, although setting
BIG_CONFIG worked just as well in his case, and this patch was not
really needed)

Sitaram Chamarty 8808158bd8 (minor) test script was misnamed 2010-08-24 21:57:25 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 6b9e75dfcb allow @all to also include gitweb and daemon
By default, @all does not include gitweb and daemon, but if that's what
you want, you can make it happen...  see GL_ALL_INCLUDES_SPECIAL
variable in conf/example.gitolite.rc

Sitaram Chamarty d6704d052a doc cleanup on info and expand command
jefferai pointed out that some of the links about this were broken, and
a quick look showed that it was described in multiple places too.
Brought it all together...
2010-08-21 17:02:12 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 6e2db12302 allow @groups in setperms command also
This should hopefully be the final step in making wildrepos as close to
normal repos as possible.  You can now do pretty much anything with them
that you can do with normal repos [1]

Implementation notes:

  - compile puts out %groups into the compiled config file regardless of
    GL_BIG_CONFIG because this feature needs it
  - wild_repo_rights caches %groups because the part of the %groups hash
    we care about will not change between calls in the same run

----

[1] **except** use the full-blown config file syntax within the gl-perms
    file :-)  I don't plan to do that; it's too complicated! [2]

[2] yeah yeah I know -- famous last words!

Sitaram Chamarty 34965b1b03 (tests) added tests for delegating with wildcards 2010-08-21 10:48:39 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 8faba23177 (minor) make time-style=long-iso explicit in t00
(side-effect of switching one machine from Mandriva to Fedora; nothing
to do with gitolite per se...)
2010-08-21 10:47:47 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 3a8f32ac9b minor fixups to the "gitweb/daemon from setperms" code...
- fork was not printing a newline after the permissions
  - "add_del_line" to properly handle that damn projects.list file!
2010-08-20 23:09:11 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 870983086c CHANGELOG and progit article updates 2010-08-20 21:03:48 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 648676faec gitweb and daemon should now work even from within setperms
modifications:

  - call setup_gitweb_access and setup_daemon_access from with
    get_set_perms so when the user sets a perm explicitly it works
  - in setup_gitweb_access, do not delete description file or
    gitweb.owner if the repo is wild
  - make the "fork" adc set gitweb.owner *and* call setperms using
    GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS
  - add tests

bug fixes:

  - gl-auth did not even *look* at GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS when
    auto-"C"reating a wild repo; fixed
  - setup_gitweb_access did not delete the description file as
    consistently as it deleted the owner

what will NOT work:

  - removing gitweb permissions does not clear the name from
    "projects.list".  That's complicated, so just wait till the next
    "compile" to make this happen

(thanks to Jefferai for driving this...)

----

mildly puzzling:

    for some strange reason, after a "git ls-remote ...try3" in t58,
    instead of not creating a "description" file, we started seeing a
    73-byte file containing this message:

    Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository.

Sitaram Chamarty da210f21bd log elapsed time
I'm an idiot.  I say I won't do it, then I go and do it anyway.

Fortunately, in this case, the code and execution remain exactly the
same for people who do not set $GL_PERFLOGT in the rc file, so it's
tolerable.

<evil grin> People who want even more than this can contact Greg Lonnon
(see the mailing list archives at
http://groups.google.com/group/gitolite for an obfuscated but easy to
guess email address) ;-)
2010-08-17 22:35:16 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 79f0a5fd52 (big one!) more than one wildcard may match a repo...
plus it can also be matched by a normal repo line.  In other words, with

    repo foo/bar
        RW  =   u1

    repo foo/..*
        RW  =   u2

user u2 has access to foo/bar (the non-wild does not cause the wild to
be completely ignored any longer)

implementation notes:

    get_memberships:

      - no more highlander ("there can only be one") for patterns in
        @repo_plus
      - return $wild as a space-separated list of matched patterns

    collect_repo_patts:

      - as of the last change to this section of code it appears we
        weren't using the values anyway, but I had forgotten :-)

    repo_rights: (big change: $wild no longer implies $creator present,
    or vice versa)

      - new type of "creator" (like "was_sitaram") is now possible

Sitaram Chamarty 204b34e525 lots of changes to tests for big-config
as well as wild, and (as much as I could) both together
2010-08-11 22:38:16 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty f21e7780a1 fix up gitweb, daemon, for wild + big-config
Implementation notes:

  - %repo_config is now "our", not "my"
  - collect_repo_patts now uses repo_rights to get the name of the wild
    card repo (if any) that pertains to the physical $repo, instead of
    all that new code (duh!)
  - new "can_read(repo, user)" sub (to help daemon and gitweb use)
  - the "convenience copy on steroids" thing now copies %repo_config
    also, not just %repos.  This makes setup_repo_configs simpler
  - $creator gets substituted into %groups also; we need that now that
    we (%repos and %groups) are working closer together :)
2010-08-11 22:38:16 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 8deee9b6bd (tests) added t57 for daemon and gitweb stuff 2010-08-11 22:38:16 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 509c73b888 gitweb/daemon now work for wild repos also
(thanks to Kevin Fleming for the need/use case)

TODO: tests
TODO: proper documentation; meanwhile, just read this:

  - you can give gitweb and daemon read rights to wild card repos also,
    and it'll all just work -- when a new repo is 'C'reated, it'll pick
    up those rights etc

  - you can assign descriptions (and owners) to individual repos as
    before, except now you can assign them to repos that actually were
    created from wild card patterns.  So for example, you can define
    rules for

        repo foo/..*

    and then assign descriptions like

        foo/repo1 = "repo one"
        foo/repo2 = "repo two"
        foo/dil "scott" = "scott's dilbert repo"

    However, this only works for repos that already exist, and only when
    you push the admin repo.

    Thumb rule: have the user create his wild repo, *then* add and push
    the admin config file with the description.  Not the other way
    around.

implementation notes:

  - wildcard support for git config revamped, refactored...

    it's not just git config that needs wildcard support.  daemon and
    gitweb access also will be needing it soon, so we start by factoring
    out the part that finds the "pattern" given a "real" repo name.

  - GL_NO_DAEMON_NO_GITWEB now gates more than just those two things;
    see doc/big-config.mkd for details

  - we trawl through $GL_REPO_BASE_ABS *once* only, collecting repo
    names and tying them to either the same name or to a wild pattern
    that the repo name was created from

  - nice little subs to setup gitweb, daemon, and git config

  - god bless $GL_REPOPATT and the day I decided to set that env var
    whenever a user hits a wild repo in any way :-)

  - the code in gl-compile-conf is very simple now.  Much nicer than
    before
2010-08-11 22:38:16 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 61802045d9 (mini refactor) clean up the repo_base_abs stuff
make it a sort of "super global" (an ENV var) all through, because
*everyone* seems to need it *and* this variable is pretty much constant
for the entire install
2010-08-11 22:38:16 +05:30
Kevin P. Fleming 33d052dc7d it is not an error for a wildcard repository to not match any patterns... that just means it does not have any config keys defined 2010-08-11 22:38:15 +05:30

Sitaram Chamarty ad64f99522 git config settings in wild repos: part 2
call it after the new_repo in auth also
2010-08-11 22:38:15 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty d1d2c3e054 git config settings in wild repos: part 1
- new GL_GITCONFIG_WILD to gate it
  - new sub to do all the hard work (refactored from a few lines in
    compile)
  - split the call from "compile" into two sets -- first for non-wild,
    then for wild

This ensures that after a "compile" (admin push) all git configs are
applied.

TODO: apply them when a new wild repo is created by a user, and then on
the "fork" (admin-defined command)

Sitaram Chamarty fda10c2805 mirroring support...
conf/example.gitolite.rc
  - "slave mode" flag to disable pushes and "list of slaves"

hooks/common/post-receive.mirrorpush
  - code to push to the mirror, creating the repo if needed

src/mirror-shell
  - shell for master pushing to a slave, because we don't actually want
    to go through gitolite itself, yet we have to take care of
    $REPO_BASE being wherever.  And of course we have to set
    GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK to 1 for the push to happen!

Sitaram Chamarty c8879264e6 separate out the code that sets up ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
NOTE: there are no *functional* changes in this for *normal*
    gitolite users.  It's just a chunk of code moving into a new
    subroutine etc.

KDE needs to populate the authkeys file from an LDAP store.  Other large
projects may have similar means to store keys, depending on how they do
their user provisioning so a generic solution is worth exploring.

This means that in these special cases
  - the gitolite-admin repo's keydir/ directory is not needed [1]
  - but they still need to create the authkeys file somehow

Implementation:

  - write a shim program to make the authkeys-generation code callable
    from the command line/shell.
  - set $GL_NO_SETUP_AUTHKEYS=1 in the rc file to disable authkey
    generation during a "compile" (admin repo push)

Expected usage of new program gl-setup-authkeys:

  - LDAP change triggers some script
  - this script collects all keys from LDAP, puts them in some
    directory, and then calls gl-setup-authkeys, passing it the name of
    the directory

ALSO PLEASE SEE COMMENTS AT THE TOP OF THE NEW PROGRAM IN THIS COMMIT
FOR SOME IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.

----

Footnotes:

[1] It doesn't make sense to use it if the keys will be maintained by
some other entity and can be called up as needed, and it adds an
unnecessary extra step.
