since gl-shell-setup runs as root, the comment in the generated key was
'root@...' instead of whatever userid it was being created for.
This does not affect gitolite or ssh but it seems some people don't
treat "comment" and "comment" and actually *do* stuff with it.
(only code is from author; commit message is from committer)
gl-shell-setup has a "run as hosting user" piece that basically
automates the adding of the user's (new) key to the admin repo.
This is now gone. (It's not that hard to automate yourself if you want
to do it anyway, using gl-admin-push).
I did this because I needed to allow someone in through a gateway, and
realised that that has the exact same needs. So the whole scheme has
been changed to treat the proxy and the gitolite host as being two
different servers.
At that point it became cumbersome to do the second bit, and I left it
out.
Other changes:
- you can define exceptions for the default shell in gl-shell
- the doc has been simplified.
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.
...for the code, not for the admin ;-)
OK that sounds nasty but really it's not that bad. We're replacing some
code with a one-time step for the admin which is also likely to be more
future-proof.
