Sitaram Chamarty ccd8372bb3 aa ha! easy install script!
src/00-easy-install.sh does *everything* needed, and it's mostly
self-documented

Sitaram Chamarty 8096cc8e9c install.pl, pta hook, upgrade doc:
- install the post-update hook also
  - fix bashism in pta-hook

Also, since delegation works best with PTA, reflect that in the upgrade doc
2009-10-05 16:55:14 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty fa5567f22c doc/5-delegation added, doc/4 (PTA) enhanced
This is complete user documentation for delegation
2009-10-04 10:22:41 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 5bb0850c5c p-t-a: make the post-update hook a separate file...
...and just refer to it in the doc.  This hook will acquire more code soon,
when we do delegations :)

Sitaram Chamarty 70d26d810b compile, all docs/confs: specify gitweb/daemon access + bonus
bonus: documented the "bits and pieces" thing properly; should have done this
long ago, but it came to the forefront now thanks to this item

Sitaram Chamarty 978046acb9 compile/update hook: COMPILED FILE CHANGE -- PLEASE READ BELOW
Summary:
    DONT forget to run src/gl-compile-conf as the last step in the upgrade

Details:

The compiled file format has changed quite a bit, to make it easier for the
rebel edition coming up :-)

compile:
  - we don't split RW/RW+ into individual perms anymore
  - we store the info required for the first level check separately now:
    (repo, R/W, user)
  - the order for second level check is now:
    repo, user, [{ref=>perms}...] (list of hashes)

update hook logic: the first refex that:
  - matches the incoming ref, AND
  - contains the perm you're trying to use,
causes the match loop to exit with success.  Fallthrough is failure

Sitaram Chamarty df3dd0de48 compile, rc, doc/3: allow custom umask 2009-09-21 14:49:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 838dd65d5f compile+doc/3: deal with older gits
- detect/warn git version < 1.6.2
  - create documentation with details on client-side workaround
  - change the "git init --bare" to (older) "git --bare init", since the old
    syntax still works anyway
2009-09-21 14:17:53 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 86faae4d4c compile+conf: allow lists (@listname) for reponames too
why should just usernames have all the fun :)  The "expand_userlist" function
is now "expand_list" and serves generically.  The example conf has also been
updated correspondingly
2009-09-17 20:03:38 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty fde9708cbf compile: better message when authkeys absent
for security reasons, we refuse to create ~/.ssh/authorized_keys if it doesn't
exist.  Explain this better and point to the documentation

Sitaram Chamarty d9d432a483 faq/tips: added "common errors..." section with 2 examples 2009-09-11 23:03:41 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 7abc629d51 faq-tips doc: "compile" as a separate step vindicated :-)
it seems gitosis silently ignores config errors.  It can't do anything else,
considering *when* the config file is parsed (on every access!)
2009-09-10 15:57:52 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 804c70f570 almost all src/conf: logging totally redone, upgrade doc added
- logs go into $GL_ADMINDIR/logs by default, named by year-month
  - logfile name template (including dir prefix) now in $GL_LOGT
  - two new env vars passed down: GL_TS and GL_LOG (timestamp, logfilename)
  - log messages timestamps more compact, fields tab-delimited
  - old and new SHAs cut to 14 characters

Sitaram Chamarty 53f1a77f7f admin doc: clarify why authkeys is needed and what it does
I was very insistently told by a user that I should just create the file
if it does not exist, but this is as far as I am willing to go
2009-08-30 21:27:03 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty b916a07d28 update hook: using non-std branches revealed an unnecessary check for refs/heads/; removed 2009-08-30 17:04:27 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty b1c329dbb6 doc fixes:
- install is even clearer now (I hope!), esp to people with root
    access who seem to expect something else :)
  - used path vars (from ~/.gitolite.rc) more consistently, and
  - added refeerences to ~/.gitolite.rc for resolving them
2009-08-30 12:08:54 +05:30
Sitaram Chamarty 4c2c55f2d1 admin doc: clarified the instructions a little more
...it seems some admins are, well, not quite ready to be admins :)

(also some minor typo fixes slipped in)
