- README: add a "what" section first, plus a few minor fixes
- doc/5:
- remove reference to obsolete ml branch URL; point it to the right
place with the right section name
- change text to reflect the fact that p-t-a is now the default!
- example config file is now all comments (should have been that way anyway)
- we detect if it is an upgrade and act accordingly (see below)
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!
- added comments to easy install to help do it manually
- README: some stuff moved to tips doc, brief summary of extras
(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
- 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
[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.
collect the delegated config fragments from correspondingly named branches of
the gitolite-admin repo, and put them all in conf/fragments/
also deprecate changes to conf and keydir locations from now on
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 :-)
- 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
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
- 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
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
