Sitaram Chamarty b3945d44c9 docs and .gitattributes hadn't been updated for the change in hooks dir 2010-03-10 06:24:53 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty de0ecd0431 compile: make it easier to move repos into gitolite
when repos are copied over from elsewhere, one had to run easy install
once again to make the new (OS-copied) repo contain the proper update
hook.

We eliminate this step now, using a new, empty, "hook" as a sentinel and
having "compile" check/fix all repos' hooks.

Since you have to add the repos to conf anyway, this makes it as
seamless as possible.  The correct sequence now is

  - (server) copy the repo at the OS level
  - (admin clone) add it to conf/gitolite.conf, commit, push

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 d78bbe8c3e lots of doc changes reflecting "push to admin" is default now :)
- 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

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
2009-09-17 19:57:59 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 53f1a77f7f admin doc: clarify why authkeys is needed and what it does
I was very insistently told by a user that I should just create the file
if it does not exist, but this is as far as I am willing to go
2009-08-30 21:27:03 +05:30
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
2009-08-30 12:08:54 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 4c2c55f2d1 admin doc: clarified the instructions a little more
...it seems some admins are, well, not quite ready to be admins :)

(also some minor typo fixes slipped in)
