Sitaram Chamarty 087aa274c6 doc/0: added uninstall instructions 2010-02-16 07:03:54 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty e674a7c64a (package maintainers read this) install doc updated
(about this commit)

    The install doc now describes both the ways of installing gitolite.
    It also has a handy appendix for package maintainers describing what
    they need to do.

(about the "dps" -- distro packaging support -- commit series)

    This commit is the last in the chain meant to make gitolite more
    friendly for package maintainers.

    Frankly, I never really thought gitolite would get big enough or
    important enough for someone to package it, and I always did just
    the bare minimum I needed to get it working, first for myself, then
    anyone who hopped onto #git and asked.  As a result, it had some
    quirks in terms of what is expected where and so on...

    Luckily, it didn't take a lot of changes to fix it, and this series
    of commits should help make it very easy to package gitolite for
    system-wide use.

Sitaram Chamarty 23be2b6240 easy install (+doc): make it run from msys. Here's how:
- all $HOME/blah becomes "$HOME/blah" (bl**dy "Documents and Settings" crap)
  - replace bash regex with perl, and in one case replace the check with
    something else
  - rsync changed to appropriate scp
  - since we no longer insist on running from a specific directory, create
    tmpgli dir *after* you cd to the right place

Sitaram Chamarty c54d3eabbc all src: (please read full commit message): allow local admin-defined hooks
You can now add your own hooks into src/hooks/ and they get propagated
along with the update hook that is present there now.  Please read the
new section in the admin document, and make sure you understand the
security implications of accidentally fiddling with the "update" script.

This also prompted a major rename spree of all the files to be
consistent, etc.  Plus people said that the .sh and .pl suffixes should
be avoided (and I was feeling the same way).  I've also been
inconsistent with that "gl-" prefix, so I cleaned that up, and the 00-
and 99- were also funny animals.

Time to get all this cleaned up before we get 1.0 :)

So these are the changes, in case you're looking at just the commit
message and not the diffstat:

    src/pta-hook.sh -> src/ga-post-update-hook
    src/conf-convert.pl -> src/gl-conf-convert
    src/00-easy-install.sh -> src/gl-easy-install
    src/99-emergency-addkey.sh -> src/gl-emergency-addkey
    src/install.pl -> src/gl-install
    src/update-hook.pl -> src/hooks/update

Sitaram Chamarty c4069dd85f (please read full commit message) upgrade behaviour changed
**upgrades no longer touch the config or the keydir**

When you first install gitolite, the easy install script has to do two
*distinct* things:

  * install the software
  * create and seed the gitolite-admin repo with a minimum config file
    and the newly created pubkey

That's fine for an install, because nothing exists yet anyway.

Subsequent invocations of the script should only do the first task (so
that gitolite itself can be upgraded), and not attempt to fiddle with
the config file and pubkeys.

Unfortunately, until now I had not been separating these two activities
cleanly enough.  For instance, the commit message for 8e47e01 said:

    IMPORTANT: we assume that $admin_name remains the same in an upgrade
    -- that's how we detect it is an upgrade!  Change that name or his
    pubkey, and you're toast!

Ouch!

So now I decided to clean things up.  The "Usage" message tells you
clearly what to do for an upgrade.

Should have been like this from the beginning, but hey we got there
eventually :)

----

Code-wise, this is a major refactor of the easy install script.  It uses
an old forgotten trick to get forward refs for bash functions ;-) and in
the process cleans up the flow quite a bit.

    (over gitosis) added
  - INSTALL: major revamp, easy install and manual install,
    much shorter and much more readable!

plus other docs changed as needed, and updated the tips doc to roll in
some details from "update.mkd" in the "ml" branch

Sitaram Chamarty b1c329dbb6 doc fixes:
- install is even clearer now (I hope!), esp to people with root
    access who seem to expect something else :)
  - used path vars (from ~/.gitolite.rc) more consistently, and
  - added refeerences to ~/.gitolite.rc for resolving them
