Sitaram Chamarty 78d02e1437 the rc file can now be in one of 2 places...
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.

Sitaram Chamarty 536e3198bf doc fixes...
- 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!
2009-10-14 14:09:34 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 8e47e0117a easy install: much more idempotent...
- 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!

Sitaram Chamarty ec2ad64b38 doc/delegation: never ending quest to write well :) 2009-10-05 19:39:55 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 8096cc8e9c install.pl, pta hook, upgrade doc:
- install the post-update hook also
  - fix bashism in pta-hook

Also, since delegation works best with PTA, reflect that in the upgrade doc

Sitaram Chamarty 3c960aa5e1 pta hook: avoid spurious error messages on old fragments 2009-10-04 15:51:32 +05:30
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 fa5567f22c doc/5-delegation added, doc/4 (PTA) enhanced
This is complete user documentation for delegation
2009-10-04 10:22:41 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 2f2af033f5 pta-hook.sh: collect delegated config fragments
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
2009-10-04 10:10:40 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 5bb0850c5c p-t-a: make the post-update hook a separate file...
...and just refer to it in the doc.  This hook will acquire more code soon,
when we do delegations :)
2009-10-04 10:10:39 +05:30
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 :-)
2009-10-04 10:10:39 +05:30
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
2009-10-04 10:10:39 +05:30
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 1b9969f3d6 auth: better message, remove unsightly perl warning on bad command 2009-09-27 23:52:04 +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
2009-09-27 09:51:00 +05:30
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
