Sitaram Chamarty f620044156 wildrepos: implement getperms and setperms 2009-12-06 20:36:15 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty f49eddd660 wildrepos: teach auth and update hook about wildcard repos
- 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...

Sitaram Chamarty 77306567e9 wildrepos: teach compile the new syntax
There's a new "C" permission to let someone *create* a repo that matches
the pattern given in the "repo ..." line.  If the word CREATER appears
in the repo pattern, then that is forced to the actual user performing
that operation.

Something like this (we'll discuss READERS and WRITERS later):

    repo personal/CREATER/.+
    C           =   @staff
    R   [foo]   =   READERS
    RW  [bar]   =   WRITERS
    ...various other permissions as usual...

Delegation checking also changes quite a bit... see comments in code

Implementation: there's also a sneaky little trick we're playing here
with the dumped hash

Sitaram Chamarty e6da853082 auth, compile, pm: good bit of refactoring
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

Sitaram Chamarty e7e6085351 compile: fix description and export-ok problem
part of comment on b78a720cee:
    The only reason it's getting into master is because it looks cool!

I hate it when something that looks cool doesn't work right :(

creating a repo on gitolite-admin push is *needed* in order to get
descriptions and export-ok files to work right

Sitaram Chamarty 604669ca02 rebel edition -- cos when you need it, you need it bad :-)
Summary: much as I did not want to use "excludes", I guess if we don't put the
code in "master" it's OK to at least *write* (and test) the code!

See the example config file for how to use it.

See "design choices" section in the "faq, tips, etc" document for how it
works.

Sitaram Chamarty 6576e82e33 easy install: needs a minor fix to accommodate auto-vivification 2009-11-27 23:57:03 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty b78a720cee auth/compile: auto-vivify is default now, so:
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!)

Sitaram Chamarty 6e0855eb4d compile: gitweb/daemon writes are unconditional now
writing the export_ok files and the gitweb project list are now
unconditional.  They're idempotent anyway, and I doubt anyone cared
about all the fancy logic to detect and report *just* the new ones on
each compile.

This paves the way for gitweb ownership to be added later; that code was
becoming too complex otherwise...

Sitaram Chamarty a02a48e8f5 easy install: dont allow root, plus warn about shell access using the given key
- refuse to install to root
  - when a pubkey is being used that was not freshly created by
    ourselves, warn the user that this key can not be used to get shell
    access to the server.  Prevents some corner cases of people being
    locked out...

Also, change the final message to be even more clear that this is all on

Sitaram Chamarty 9a85f5d0d6 auth: print permissions for @all also
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.

Sitaram Chamarty ad6d46fab9 easy install: when the first install doesn't go right...
We detect an upgrade situation by the presence of
$GL_ADMINDIR/conf/gitolite.conf -- if it exists, we reason, this is not
a fresh install.  And if so we skip setting up PTA, and the initial
clone.

Well, turns out this is not always true.  I've had a few cases where the
first install didn't go right, but left enough stuff in to make the
subsequent attempt think this is an upgrade.

[This mostly happened to me when I was testing the "oldgits" branch, and
also when I was making it work from msysgit I think... regardless of
why, it'd be good to fix]

So this changes the flow somewhat.  Now the *only* difference between a
fresh install and an ugrade is the "initial_conf_key" function call (you
don't want to overwrite an existing conf file or keydir!)

Sitaram Chamarty 516c028b81 compile: (oopsies...) plug security hole in delegation feature
I was trying to determine how close gitolite can come to the ACL model
of a proprietary product called codebeamer, and one of the items was how
to make a "role" (like QA_Lead) have different "members" in different
projects.

I then realised delegation already does that!  Which is great, but as I
thought about it more, I realised...  well, we'll let the in-code
comments speak for themselves :-)

Anyway, all it needed was a 1-line fix, luckily... <phew>  And it would
have only affected people who use delegation.

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

Sitaram Chamarty c4069dd85f (please read full commit message) upgrade behaviour changed
**upgrades no longer touch the config or the keydir**

When you first install gitolite, the easy install script has to do two
*distinct* things:

  * install the software
  * create and seed the gitolite-admin repo with a minimum config file
    and the newly created pubkey

That's fine for an install, because nothing exists yet anyway.

Subsequent invocations of the script should only do the first task (so
that gitolite itself can be upgraded), and not attempt to fiddle with
the config file and pubkeys.

Unfortunately, until now I had not been separating these two activities
cleanly enough.  For instance, the commit message for 8e47e01 said:

    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!

Ouch!

So now I decided to clean things up.  The "Usage" message tells you
clearly what to do for an upgrade.

Should have been like this from the beginning, but hey we got there
eventually :)

----

Code-wise, this is a major refactor of the easy install script.  It uses
an old forgotten trick to get forward refs for bash functions ;-) and in
the process cleans up the flow quite a bit.

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 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 978046acb9 compile/update hook: COMPILED FILE CHANGE -- PLEASE READ BELOW
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

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
required if you do "push to admin"

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 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 5d4d5184b4 sources: 1-line all the "do"s for brevity and clarity
and yes, brevity and clarity "do" go together in perl :)

Sitaram Chamarty dd13de2d14 update hook/conf: $PERSONAL branch prefix
wicked cool to get it in one line of code!

Sitaram Chamarty abb4580d85 compile: wrap the open call as well,
plus better messages from both wrappers

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

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 "/")
