upgrading gitolite atomically
general upgrade notes
If you follow the steps below, you can make the upgrade "atomic", so you don't have to do it at a "quiet" time or something.
-
untar the new version to some temp directory and
cdto it -
prepare the new version of
~/.gitolite.rc. It must have all the variables defined inconf/example.gitolite.rc(the "new" rc file), because the new versions of the programs will be depending on seeing these variables.However, it must also retain any customisations you made to the old variables.
So this is what you do:
- make a copy of
conf/example.gitolite.rcas~/glrc.new - if your current
~/.gitolite.rchad any customisations (where you changed the defaults in some way), edit~/glrc.newand make those same changes there
- make a copy of
-
upgrade the rc file first
cp ~/glrc.new ~/.gitolite.rc -
upgrade the software
src/install.pl
And you're done.
upgrade notes for specific versions
If any extra steps beyond the generic ones above are needed, they will be listed here, newest first.
upgrading from abb4580
Two new features (personal branches, and customisable logfile names/locations)
have been added between abb4580 and this version.
-
if you want to enable the personal branches feature, choose one of the alternative values given for
$PERSONALor change it to something you like; by default it is empty, which disables the feature -
if you want the log files named or grouped differently, choose one of the alternative values for
$GL_LOGT. Note that if you choose to put them in some other directory than the default, you must create that directory (mkdir) yourself; gitolite will not do that for you
