- new_repo now takes a "creater" parameter; if given, this user is
recorded (in a file called "gl-creater") as the creater of the repo.
Only applicable to wildcards
- repo_rights reads "gl-creater" and "gl-perms" to tell you who
created it, and whether you (the $user) are in the list of READERS
or WRITERS
**NOTE** that the mechanism to create/update gl-perms has not been
written yet... (as of this commit)
- parse_acl takes 4 more arguments, all optional. The repo name we're
interested in (set by all except the access reporting function), and
the names to be interpolated as $creater, $readers, writers
- report_basic now knows about the "C" permission and shows it
- auth now autovivifies a repo if the user has "C" and it's a wildcard
match, or (the old case) the user has "W" and it's not a wildcard.
In the former case, the creater is also set
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
- the Dumper code now uses a custom hash key sort to make sure
$creater etc land up at the *end*
- a wee bit of duplication exists in the update hook; it borrows a
little code from parse_acl. I dont (yet) want to include all of
gitolite.pm for that little piece...
all of this is prep for the upcoming, all-new, chrome-plated,
"wildrepos" branch :)
- many variables go to gitolite.pm now, and are "our"d into the other
files as needed
- new functions parse_acl, report_basic to replace inlined code
the "create a new repo" code moves from compile to auth.
Only someone who has W access can create it, but he can do so even on a
"R" operation (like clone or ls-remote).
This is a pre-requisite for rebel's wildcard repos, where
autovivification is the only way you can create arbitrary repos matching
a pattern.
The only reason it's getting into master is because it looks cool!
----
OK that's a lie; the real reason is to keep the two branches as similar
as possible, though they;ve diverged quite a bit since the "only
one-line difference" days where "rebel" just meant "deny/exclude"
rules!)
I don't have a use for "@all" at all (pun not intended!) other than the
"testing" repo, but <teemu dot matilainen at iki dot fi> sent in a patch
to mark those repos with "R" and "W" in the permissions list, and I
started thinking about it.
This could actually be useful if we *differentiated* such access from
normal (explicit username) access. From the "corporate environment"
angle, it would be nice if a project manager could quickly check if any
of his projects have erroneously been made accessible by @all.
So what we do now is print "@" in the corresponding column if "@all" has
the corresponding access.
Also, when someone has access both as himself *and* via @all, we print
the "@"; printing the "R" or "W" would hide the "@", and wouldn't
correctly satisfy the use case described above.
Packaging gitolite for debian requires the rc file to be in /etc/gitolite.
But non-root installs must still be supported, and they need it in $HOME.
This means the rc file is no longer in a fixed place, which needs code to find
the rc file first. See comments inside new file 'gitolite.pm' for details.
The rest of the changes are in the other programs, to replace the hard-coded
rc filename with a call to this new code.
- 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
(thanks to SethX for feedback)
- install: a little more verbosity in the mkdir
- install and example conf: some of the help text made more clear
- auth: error message on bad $cmd is now clearer, plus no perl-warnings to
confuse people
- 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
