They don't work if someone calls the script for example
su - gitolite -c gl-setup <key>
from a directory where "gitolite" user does not have permissions (e.g.
0700), then 'cd $od' fails and we stay in gitolite's $HOME.
[commit message changed by committer; author was more polite ;-)]
- openssh 5.6 doesn't like "ssh user@host" with no command following
it, because they changed the rules for pty allocation failure.
I'm calling this a BSD compat change because BSD hit it first, but
really, the "ssh -T" will eventually be needed by Linuxes also, as
they start upgrading to openssh 5.6
- FreeBSD (and I presume the other BSDs also) *require* a "-t"
argument to mktemp (thanks to matias for finding this).
Note that on FreeBSD, -t is a prefix (the X's are taken literally,
and the real random stuff gets appended to the prefix), while on
Linux, it is a template (the X's are converted to random
characters). Thus, on BSD you will get names like
/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.1BAEGkHm, whereas on Linux you'll get
/tmp/tmp.Aq7vbdNpGp or something.
- stop erroring out if run from elsewhere than $HOME (by localising
the "cd" we need somewhere in between)
- catch the admin@home.pub usage early
- minor fix to the backticked commands
- gl-setup now does 'chmod go-rwx .ssh'
I've been unwilling to create the authkeys file if it does not already
exist, because it represents a significant change in accessibility for
that account.
However, in the "distro package" scenario, one wants to make it as easy
as possible for the end-user (who is actually an admin for the gitolite
being hosted on his account, let's not forget) to use.
And it seems that in some cases that might mean he does not (yet) have a
~/.ssh even...
The old install method will now use conf/VERSION instead of src/VERSION everywhere.
The new one, if you use the builtin make file to "make branch.tar" will also create just such a file
