I got tired of being told "TL;DR". Now the online versions of most
documents fit on a page or two, or at least most of them do. The rest
has been split out (and you can see the links to the split out sections
right where the text is in the raw Markdown).
This is much more pleasant to read, and I've improved the linking so
it's much less effort for me to keep the links correct.
major changes
- (src) one error message got more detail
- long overdue fixup to developer notes doc
plus many minor changes that have been piling up
PS: to dig into the "alliterative animal" comment, check the channel
logs around aug 23rd ;-)
- caution about wild repos needing to be manually created on the
receiving side (because nothing gets auto-created now)
- caution about the right and wrong way to "delete" a config variable
- a few other minor fixes
We previously said all mirroring features are disabled if GL_HOSTNAME is
not set.
But what if, after mirroring has been setup, and master/slaves defined
for a repo, a slave admin fat-fingers the RC file and accidentally
comments out GL_HOSTNAME? We might end up violating RULE NUMBER ONE!
- all anchors prefixed by AUTO_ now
- some bad links fixed (maybe still a few I didn't catch)
- misc wording changes/additions (support section to README,
"technical skills" section to install doc, etc).
conf/example.gitolite.rc
- "slave mode" flag to disable pushes and "list of slaves"
hooks/common/post-receive.mirrorpush
- code to push to the mirror, creating the repo if needed
src/mirror-shell
- shell for master pushing to a slave, because we don't actually want
to go through gitolite itself, yet we have to take care of
$REPO_BASE being wherever. And of course we have to set
GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK to 1 for the push to happen!
src/gl-mirror-sync
- manually runnable program to sync from current server to another
