Sitaram Chamarty fda10c2805 mirroring support...
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

Sitaram Chamarty c8879264e6 separate out the code that sets up ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
NOTE: there are no *functional* changes in this for *normal*
    gitolite users.  It's just a chunk of code moving into a new
    subroutine etc.

KDE needs to populate the authkeys file from an LDAP store.  Other large
projects may have similar means to store keys, depending on how they do
their user provisioning so a generic solution is worth exploring.

This means that in these special cases
  - the gitolite-admin repo's keydir/ directory is not needed [1]
  - but they still need to create the authkeys file somehow

Implementation:

  - write a shim program to make the authkeys-generation code callable
    from the command line/shell.
  - set $GL_NO_SETUP_AUTHKEYS=1 in the rc file to disable authkey
    generation during a "compile" (admin repo push)

Expected usage of new program gl-setup-authkeys:

  - LDAP change triggers some script
  - this script collects all keys from LDAP, puts them in some
    directory, and then calls gl-setup-authkeys, passing it the name of
    the directory

ALSO PLEASE SEE COMMENTS AT THE TOP OF THE NEW PROGRAM IN THIS COMMIT
FOR SOME IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.

----

Footnotes:

[1] It doesn't make sense to use it if the keys will be maintained by
some other entity and can be called up as needed, and it adds an
unnecessary extra step.

Sitaram Chamarty e115129776 (minor) gl-setup fixes
- 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'

Sitaram Chamarty 4fa5442daa two months too late for towel day... but "dont-panic"!
gl-emergency-addkey replaced by totally new gl-dont-panic, which does
more (including recovering from a botched push, not just lost keys), is
cleaner, and works for all install methods

Sitaram Chamarty fbb9dafbd1 gqt -- gitolite quick (re-)test
sometimes I want to quickly test a few lines of change within the context of
a currently-running/just-ran test, *without* doing the rollback etc.

Here's how you do that now:

  - in your source tree, make the change and then run:
        cp -a src hooks contrib/adc /some/tmp/place
  - go to the tester userid and re-run your tests like so:
        GQT=/some/tmp/place ./test-driver.sh
    it'll rollback as normal then overwrite src and hooks from $GQT

Also, there's now a "dbg" sub that can be used for quick printf-style
debugging.

Paweł Zuzelski 1315b1ad11 Better warning message for multi-keys per pubkey file
"WARNING: a pubkey file can only have one line (key); ignoring $pubkey"
message was a bit confusing, because elsewhere the docs claim multiple
keys are suported.  Added note on how to add multiple keys for single
user and pointer to the doc file concerned.

Sitaram Chamarty f0c280cd38 allow "info" to have some chance of working on big-config setups!
Fedora, till now, had no hope in hell of running the info command.  Why?
Because the output of the info command is semantically the same as the
output of the compile script *before* the big-config mode was created.

And we all know how _that_ went ;-)

So now you get to give "info" a partial reponame or a pattern, just like
in the case of "expand".  And if you're under GL_BIG_CONFIG this pattern
is mandatory.  And if you try to cheat it'll still stop after showing 5
entries to prevent (accidental?) DOSs

Anyway, see doc changes in this commit for more details.

Sitaram Chamarty cd0835feb1 (tests) t59 to test previous commit...
(the one that distinguishes "repo not found" from "no access")
2010-07-30 13:51:41 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty c25e05d87b distinguish "repo not found" from "no access" if the user has rights anyway
thanks to Jesse from the Fedora team for pointing this out.  They use
GL_NO_CREATE_REPOS, so sometimes the physical repo on disk doesn't exist
at the time the config file is written.

We're talking about non-wild repos only here, so this means it should
never happen to normal gitolite users.  But now -- in the rare case that
there is a disk-side problem -- people who have rights to a repo will
get a more specific error message.

Sitaram Chamarty 20c2e1aac8 <sigh>
there are people who cannot click a "doc/" link on the first google hit,
and think you have to clone the whole thing to see the docs...

I suspect they aren't even hitting the "read more" link that github
shows in the description blurb, or if they go there they aren't even
going to the end of the second para, which contains a nice link.

Sitaram Chamarty 1488973412 (doc) INSTALL doc needs info on URLs
More and more people are using one of the first 3 methods of install
(the ones that don't involve running "src/gl-easy-install" from the
client side) usualy due to RPM/DEB being available now.

Previously, the ending message on running that command was serving this
purpose, and so it never really got written down in so many words.

[thanks to antgel for catching this]

----

while we were there, we removed a now-obsolete section that talks about
how to use just one key; there are better methods now
2010-07-05 16:22:10 +05:30
Jeff Mitchell 14248a3441 add '[' as allowed starting character for repo patterns
this allows the first part of the repo name (if wildcard repos are
activated) to have a regex like [a-zA-Z0-9]+.

----

Note added by committer:

he assumption used to be that all wildcard repos will have some common
prefix like "users", but I did not imagine it would be like

    repo [a-zA-Z0-9]+/users/CREATOR/[a-zA-Z0-9]+

(viz., the "users" is in the middle).

Sounds reasonable...
2010-06-22 22:00:55 +05:30
Jeff Mitchell 38403c354f Add GL_WILDREPOS_DEFPERMS
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.

Sitaram Chamarty acff0bd3d0 hook propagation doc much expanded now 2010-06-20 08:06:54 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 98a42be614 asking for other users' perms had a bug in BIG_CONFIG mode
fixes:
  - allow "grouped" admins to get basic info for other users by checking
    more than just the *user*'s right to the admin repo
  - report_basic is called with a $user argument, but it's not easy
    (right now) to propagate this to parse_acl.  Use a simple kludge,
    (for now at least).

thanks to bcooksley for catching this
2010-06-20 00:57:21 +05:30

2010-06-18 22:09:30 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty a430cc57c7 separating "push" from "create"
This is what I *should* have done back then; thanks to Jeff Mitchell for
pointing out a problem with the old method.

The old one is *definitely* a kludge.  <shamefaced grin>

Sitaram Chamarty 78c8caa24c Revert "now you can disallow creation of new refs if you like"
This reverts commit 6d32e4e920.

2010-06-18 19:31:06 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty bf1a9720af (minor) be less noisy about pubkeys present but not used in config
The main use case is for people who give most people access via @all,
which is somewhat unusual but in some situations it probably makes
sense.

See also a related commit made a month or so ago (aa8da93).

Actually these two lint checks were made to help people spot typos in
the config, which sorta becomes meaningless if you have more than a few
such cases anyway, so for most people it should not matter that I am now
merely summarising the number of such cases if there are more then 10.
2010-06-18 16:50:45 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 0f5f82e4f5 log message changes (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
The log message format has changed.  All log messages now have a common
prefix (timestamp, user, IP).  This is followed by $SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND
(or, in one special case, the name of the user's login shell).  Any
further text appears after this (currently this only happens in the case
of a successful push -- one for each ref pushed successfully)

Sitaram Chamarty 517786572d (adc fork) fork is now fast and space-efficient on the server
uses "git clone -l" then manually sets up the gl-creater and hooks

(thanks to Jeff and the kde gang for asking ;-)

Sitaram Chamarty 255a4ca9fa add a new test to make sure "info" and "expand" show the right output 2010-06-12 13:24:59 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 0add3d3de7 finally, open up my secret test scripts...
...after getting rid of most of the hardcoding (though not all!)
2010-06-12 13:24:55 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty ba8094d6f5 report_basic forgot how to display wildcards during big-config change
in addition, due to "+" becoming a valid character in a normal reponame,
(think gtk+, etc), the pattern

    repo dev/CREATOR/.+

doesn't look like a wildcard repo anymore, so we add an extra check that
if CREATOR is mentioned, it *is* a wildcard.

This has been added *only* to the report_basic function; it doesn't
really matter anywhere else.
2010-06-12 09:27:25 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 080ec22ae9 compile: kill spurious "user ... not in config" warnings
this happens when users are given rights to a repo via a groupname, and
GL_BIG_CONFIG is in effect
2010-06-02 12:29:47 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 6d32e4e920 now you can disallow creation of new refs if you like
see doc/3 for details (look for "separating delete and rewind rights"

----

and for gerrit, this is one more thing it can do that we can too ;-)

[the original text was somewhat misleading.  We mean "prevent someone
from creating a branch that they have permissions to push".  That is
what is now possible, where it was not possible before.]

Sitaram Chamarty 805050a129 remove a few needless bashisms...
Note: "able" still needs bash but it's an easy fix if you need to use it
on a bash-challenged machine and care enough

Sitaram Chamarty b4c1627130 include VERSION details when using gl-system-install from a clone
It works fine when you're installing off of a tar file because the
Makefile also generates a VERSION file, but when doing from a clone you
still need to generate it.

(plus minor fix to easy install, in the same area of code)
