Sitaram Chamarty f883fe7d71 compile: comments+efficiency
- add better comments on the 2 main hashes
  - work around an inefficiency caused by the exclude prep code needing
    a list instead of a hash at a certain place

Sitaram Chamarty 616d8a5f7d compile: (large changes) parse delegated fragments if any
[Note: this is a fairly involved commit, compared to most of the others.
    See doc/5-delegation.mkd for a user-level feature description.]

    parse delegated config fragments (found as conf/fragments/*.conf).  Any
    repos being referenced within a fragment config *must* belong to the
    "@group" with the same name as the fragment.

    That is, a fragment called conf/fragments/abc.conf can only refer to repos
    that are members of the "@abc" repo group.  It cannot specify access
    control for any other repos.  If it does, those settings are ignored, and
    a warning message is produced.

    since the delegated config must have the flexibility of (re-)defining
    group names for internal convenience, and since all such definitions go
    into the same "groups" hash, it is quite easy for conf/fragments/abc.conf
    to write in its own (re-)definition of "@abc"!  That would be a neat
    little security hole :)

    The way to close it is to consider only members of the "@abc" groupset
    defined in the main ("master") config file for this purpose.

Sitaram Chamarty 34a6f89c26 compile: make the parse a function instead of inline
Again, prep for delegation, when we'll be reading fragments of config rules
from various files and tacking them onto the %repos hash.

note: this patch best viewed with "git diff -w", clicking "Ignore space
change" in gitk, or eqvt :-)

Sitaram Chamarty 3267c3f4be compile: change %groups from hash of lists to hash of hashes
This makes it easier to test if a repo is a member of a group, which is
required for the delegation feature coming up

Sitaram Chamarty c15c75749b compile: special-case 'gitweb' and 'daemon' from the linting
not a big deal since there's a very simple and obvious workaround -- create a
new keypair, throw away the private key, and use the pubkey
2009-10-03 10:55:30 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty c66e1ad732 compile: pubkey related linting added
- warn about files in keydir/ that dont end with ".pub"
  - warn about pubkey files for which the user is not mentioned in config
  - warn more sternly about the opposite (user in config, no pubkey!)

update hook: add reponame to message on deny
auth: minor typo

Sitaram Chamarty 70d26d810b compile, all docs/confs: specify gitweb/daemon access + bonus
bonus: documented the "bits and pieces" thing properly; should have done this
long ago, but it came to the forefront now thanks to this item

Sitaram Chamarty 978046acb9 compile/update hook: COMPILED FILE CHANGE -- PLEASE READ BELOW
Summary:
    DONT forget to run src/gl-compile-conf as the last step in the upgrade

Details:

The compiled file format has changed quite a bit, to make it easier for the
rebel edition coming up :-)

compile:
  - we don't split RW/RW+ into individual perms anymore
  - we store the info required for the first level check separately now:
    (repo, R/W, user)
  - the order for second level check is now:
    repo, user, [{ref=>perms}...] (list of hashes)

update hook logic: the first refex that:
  - matches the incoming ref, AND
  - contains the perm you're trying to use,
causes the match loop to exit with success.  Fallthrough is failure

Sitaram Chamarty df3dd0de48 compile, rc, doc/3: allow custom umask 2009-09-21 14:49:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 838dd65d5f compile+doc/3: deal with older gits
- detect/warn git version < 1.6.2
  - create documentation with details on client-side workaround
  - change the "git init --bare" to (older) "git --bare init", since the old
    syntax still works anyway

Sitaram Chamarty 86faae4d4c compile+conf: allow lists (@listname) for reponames too
why should just usernames have all the fun :)  The "expand_userlist" function
is now "expand_list" and serves generically.  The example conf has also been
updated correspondingly

Sitaram Chamarty fde9708cbf compile: better message when authkeys absent
for security reasons, we refuse to create ~/.ssh/authorized_keys if it doesn't
exist.  Explain this better and point to the documentation

Sitaram Chamarty f54c6c7a52 compile: make error messages grab the admin's attention
required if you do "push to admin"

Sitaram Chamarty 694050d6c4 all src: suffixed a \n to all die's; error output looks cleaner now 2009-09-10 21:35:49 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 804c70f570 almost all src/conf: logging totally redone, upgrade doc added
- logs go into $GL_ADMINDIR/logs by default, named by year-month
  - logfile name template (including dir prefix) now in $GL_LOGT
  - two new env vars passed down: GL_TS and GL_LOG (timestamp, logfilename)
  - log messages timestamps more compact, fields tab-delimited
  - old and new SHAs cut to 14 characters

Sitaram Chamarty 5d4d5184b4 sources: 1-line all the "do"s for brevity and clarity
and yes, brevity and clarity "do" go together in perl :)

Sitaram Chamarty abb4580d85 compile: wrap the open call as well,
plus better messages from both wrappers

Sitaram Chamarty 78a10a1ee1 compile: another solaris compat fix, to do with "~"
system("...") run from perl on sol does not seem to like "~" (regardless of
what $SHELL is set to), so use $ENV{HOME} instead

thanks again to evocallaghan

Sitaram Chamarty 3522087591 compile: REPO_BASE need not be under $HOME
In the "create new repos" loop, we need an absolute value for REPO_BASE, in
order to be able to chdir back and forth.  But (taking the "normal user with
no privileges" assumption too far!) we assumed REPO_BASE would be within
$HOME, and relative to it.  So it fails when someone wants the repo_base
elsewhere.

Now we don't prefix $HOME if REPO_BASE is already absolute (begins with a "/")
