This new adc allows you to run arbitrary git commands on the server.
It is disabled by default, and you have to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS **AND**
SOURCE CODE BEFORE DEPLOYING.
For sample code see new file contrib/adc/get-rights-and-owner.in-perl.
Despite the name, you can use similar code in a hook also -- comments in
that file will tell you how.
implementation notes:
- check_access now takes an optional last arg "dry_run", which is also
passes through to check_ref
- check_ref returns a "DENIED by ..." instead of die-ing if dry_run is
passed in
- as a side effect, cli_repo_rights is now just a stub calling
check_access (we kept it hanging around for backward compat -- too
much adc pain for too many people if we change it now)
(we quietly do not document the 'able' adc, which is now the most
"official" adc in the sense that it has a new test, t64-write-able!)
other notes: fix bug in 'able' (not setting $loc)
- get_rights_and_owner normalises its arg1 by stripping .git if
supplied, then sets the variable "repo" to the result as a side
effect
- new "help" adc with some default text but main purpose is to allow
site local help text
- other adc's refer to 'help' adc when appropriate
- 'undelete' renamed to 'restore'; that's what the KDE "trashcan"
program calls that operation
- minor typo in sample script in documentation
- main adc doc points to contrib/adc/repo-deletion.README now
The sudo adc should make life easier for any admin wishing to run an adc
as some other user.
As a result, the rmrepo adc also goes back to its simple roots. Now you
just run it via the sudo adc if you (as gitolite admin) needs to rmrepo
some user's repo.
- dont do anything if he doesn't even have read access
- move the GL_USER check to the right place! (to when you actually
will be doing something)
That spurious check for GL_USER that we (re)moved would not only have
shown an incomplete set of log lines, it would have made the wrong log
line look like the "last" one. (No real harm would result, of course,
since the update-ref would blow up due to the actual SHA being something
other than what it was expecting, but it would be confusing to the user)
modifications:
- call setup_gitweb_access and setup_daemon_access from with
get_set_perms so when the user sets a perm explicitly it works
- in setup_gitweb_access, do not delete description file or
gitweb.owner if the repo is wild
- make the "fork" adc set gitweb.owner *and* call setperms using
GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS
- add tests
bug fixes:
- gl-auth did not even *look* at GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS when
auto-"C"reating a wild repo; fixed
- setup_gitweb_access did not delete the description file as
consistently as it deleted the owner
what will NOT work:
- removing gitweb permissions does not clear the name from
"projects.list". That's complicated, so just wait till the next
"compile" to make this happen
(thanks to Jefferai for driving this...)
----
mildly puzzling:
for some strange reason, after a "git ls-remote ...try3" in t58,
instead of not creating a "description" file, we started seeing a
73-byte file containing this message:
Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository.
allows a default 'setperms' string to be set for new wildcard
repositories.
Also, fix a bug in the fork script where a failure in the git command
would still cause the rest of the script to attempt to run.
