Sitaram Chamarty 838dd65d5f compile+doc/3: deal with older gits
- 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

Sitaram Chamarty 86faae4d4c compile+conf: allow lists (@listname) for reponames too
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

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

Sitaram Chamarty f54c6c7a52 compile: make error messages grab the admin's attention

Sitaram Chamarty d9d432a483 faq/tips: added "common errors..." section with 2 examples 2009-09-11 23:03:41 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 694050d6c4 all src: suffixed a \n to all die's; error output looks cleaner now 2009-09-10 21:35:49 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 3d44b003c8 clarifications in various messages etc
(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
2009-09-10 21:26:25 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 7abc629d51 faq-tips doc: "compile" as a separate step vindicated :-)
it seems gitosis silently ignores config errors.  It can't do anything else,
considering *when* the config file is parsed (on every access!)
2009-09-10 15:57:52 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 804c70f570 almost all src/conf: logging totally redone, upgrade doc added
- 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

Sitaram Chamarty 208c401858 compile: chmod internal, and save "old" authkeys 2009-09-01 19:40:42 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 5d4d5184b4 sources: 1-line all the "do"s for brevity and clarity
and yes, brevity and clarity "do" go together in perl :)

Sitaram Chamarty 62d89bf8f8 gl-auth: R_COMMANDS adds "git-upload-archive" 2009-08-31 21:08:21 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty dd13de2d14 update hook/conf: $PERSONAL branch prefix
wicked cool to get it in one line of code!
2009-08-31 08:19:24 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty abb4580d85 compile: wrap the open call as well,
plus better messages from both wrappers
2009-08-31 08:19:24 +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 78a10a1ee1 compile: another solaris compat fix, to do with "~"
system("...") run from perl on sol does not seem to like "~" (regardless of
what $SHELL is set to), so use $ENV{HOME} instead

thanks again to evocallaghan

Sitaram Chamarty b916a07d28 update hook: using non-std branches revealed an unnecessary check for refs/heads/; removed 2009-08-30 17:04:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty e55fc3b7f3 minor: remove needless "our"s 2009-08-30 13:28:12 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 08305aa482 install streamlining:
- install.sh is now install.pl (had to happen sooner or later!)
  - now handles updates more gracefully, doesn't overwrite important stuff :)
  - makes the install sequence much easier to understand
    (just run it and follow the prompts!)

  - made ~/.gitolite.rc much clearer to edit
2009-08-30 13:28:08 +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)

Sitaram Chamarty d27af37d21 faq-tips-etc: completely revamped; big "differences from gitosis" section, etc 2009-08-29 19:08:24 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 3522087591 compile: REPO_BASE need not be under $HOME
In the "create new repos" loop, we need an absolute value for REPO_BASE, in
order to be able to chdir back and forth.  But (taking the "normal user with
no privileges" assumption too far!) we assumed REPO_BASE would be within
$HOME, and relative to it.  So it fails when someone wants the repo_base
elsewhere.

Now we don't prefix $HOME if REPO_BASE is already absolute (begins with a "/")

Sitaram Chamarty 3ddc9087d3 first production use: @all, leading slash
I had to make two minor fixes while migrating my work repos:

1.  I forgot to honor '@all'; oops!

    While I was about it, I also fixed the "access denied"
    message to show what rights were being tried when it
    failed.

2.  I forgot that URLs can have leading slashes (I myself
    only use URLs like gs:reponame.git, where gs is an ssh
    stanza that describes the git server in question).

Sitaram Chamarty cb5a802d3e DAMN DAMN DAMN those lexical filehandles
print FH unless ()  # was working fine
but
    print $fh unless () # doesn't

instead of printing $_ to $fh, it prints $fh to STDOUT.  DAMN DAMN DAMN
