Major changes to gitolite, master branch only, most recent first, no dates but
|
|
the tags can help you position stuff approximately
|
|
[NYD = not yet documented due to lack of time...]
|
|
|
|
- v2.1
|
|
|
|
- 'symbolic-ref' ADC replaces and obsoletes 'set-head'
|
|
|
|
- BIG CHANGE: easy-install ('from-client' method) is now HISTORY from the
|
|
docs and code. Upgrade to one of the other methods. Look for a section
|
|
on "upgrading from from-client method to non-root method" in the docs
|
|
|
|
- nice new "password access" mode for people who can't grok ssh keys
|
|
|
|
- new program gl-dryrun, to be run in any admin repo clone, to check syntax
|
|
errors etc before you actually push
|
|
|
|
- very complex mirroring setups now have a helper script to setup
|
|
|
|
- behanw contributed a better converter for gitosis
|
|
|
|
- the mirroring stuff is just out of this world now...
|
|
|
|
- new 'subconf' feature to explicitly delegate; the implicit one is now
|
|
legacy, but is backward compatibly handled so you don't need to fix your
|
|
config
|
|
|
|
- delegation now allows includes in fragments -- no idea why we first
|
|
disallowed this
|
|
|
|
- fix accumulation and sequencing of git config lines; very important for
|
|
mirroring (coming up)
|
|
|
|
- v2.0.3
|
|
|
|
- gl-dont-panic replaced by more generic gl-admin-push
|
|
|
|
- v2.0.2
|
|
|
|
- self-service key management
|
|
|
|
- (from-client install method is now loosely deprecated)
|
|
|
|
- su-setperms and su-getperms, like su-expand -- allow an admin to get/set
|
|
perms on behalf of some user
|
|
|
|
- 'delete-branch' ADC -- this is the most practical way to allow someone to
|
|
delete a branch that they themselves created; see commit message for
|
|
89b68bf
|
|
|
|
- v2.0.1
|
|
|
|
- "hooklets" allow you to have any number of site-local 'update hook'
|
|
scripts play nicely with gitolite
|
|
|
|
- the "include" statement can now use globs -- makes some types of setups
|
|
sooooo easy!
|
|
|
|
- mirroring finally tested properly after v2
|
|
|
|
- 'hub' adc (pull requests etc)
|
|
|
|
- s3backup ADC contributed by Bremner
|
|
|
|
- warn() and die() are now logged
|
|
|
|
- v2.0
|
|
|
|
- gl-pre-git hook added
|
|
|
|
- 'hub' adc added
|
|
|
|
- v2.0rc2
|
|
|
|
*** V1.5.9.1 -- IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX; PLEASE UPGRADE IF YOU'RE USING
|
|
SOMETHING OLDER THAN THIS ONE
|
|
|
|
- supercool new 'git' adc; so cool it's disabled by default
|
|
|
|
- '-prune' added to find commands; makes a big diff if REPO_BASE is NFS/CIFS
|
|
mounted
|
|
|
|
- first python ADC contributed -- 'perms' makes setperms etc easier to do
|
|
|
|
- 'set-head' ADC added
|
|
|
|
- v2.0rc1; major refactor
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.9
|
|
|
|
- Nokia MeeGo team contributed ldap scripts
|
|
|
|
- large configs should now be twice as fast (except when gl-perms exists)
|
|
due to my finding and eliminating a wasted parse_acl
|
|
|
|
- major change: split the config file when in big-config mode
|
|
(includes a data format change)
|
|
|
|
- GL_ALL_READ_ALL to make things much, (MUCH!) faster for sites where all
|
|
can read all repos (like Fedora)
|
|
|
|
- rc file revamp -- was getting too big and unwieldy; now the documentation
|
|
is in a new file instead of inline
|
|
|
|
- allow gitolite to be used even when users have real IDs (thus $HOME is not
|
|
valid to find the rc file); allow /etc/gitolite/gitolite.rc then
|
|
|
|
- BIG one for adc writers -- full blown access checks (ref level) can be
|
|
done from an ADC now (though it has to be in perl, not shell)!
|
|
|
|
- allow full access checks from perl (shell can only do level 1 checks);
|
|
useful in hooks or ADCs
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.8
|
|
|
|
- Jeff from KDE contributed the watch ADC
|
|
- allow disabling gitolite (write access only) to take backups
|
|
- document how to move gitolite from one server to another
|
|
|
|
- custom permissions categories (default being READERS and WRITERS) for
|
|
setperms (thanks to Jeff from KDE for the idea/need)
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.7
|
|
|
|
- "help" adc can allow site local help text to be shown
|
|
- "who-pushed" adc to find out who pushed a given commit
|
|
- rmrepo adc replaced by lock/unlock/rm and trash/list-trash/restore
|
|
families of commands
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.6
|
|
|
|
- new method for passing usergroup info (minor backward compat breakage);
|
|
see commit message and doc/big-config.mkd for more on this
|
|
|
|
- added "sudo" (adc)
|
|
- added "gl-reflog" (adc) to get a fake reflog from the server!
|
|
- added support for a post-repo-create hook called "gl-post-init"
|
|
|
|
- (BIG ONE!) SMART HTTP SUPPORT!
|
|
|
|
- @all can now include gitweb/daemon also (default, not include)
|
|
- allow @groups in setperms
|
|
- gitweb/daemon now work within setperms
|
|
|
|
- log elapsed time (optional)
|
|
|
|
- more than one wildcard may match a repo, plus it can also be matched by a
|
|
normal repo line
|
|
|
|
- test suite has lots of new tests for the below
|
|
- (big change) all combinations of wild repos and big configs, including
|
|
daemon/gitweb/git-config settings, should work now!
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.5
|
|
|
|
- mirroring support
|
|
|
|
- setup_authkeys is now separate; can be called from outside also; useful
|
|
for people who want to maintain ssh keys via LDAP or something, and not
|
|
within gitolite
|
|
|
|
- (two months too late for towel day) gl-dont-panic!
|
|
[replaces the old "gl-emergency-addkey" program. It does more (including
|
|
recovering from a botched push, not just lost keys), is cleaner, and works
|
|
for all install methods]
|
|
|
|
- document on how to create a mob branch
|
|
|
|
- info command now takes a parameter to limit output; this is mandatory if
|
|
GL_BIG_CONFIG is on
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.4
|
|
|
|
- new RC variables: GL_NO_CREATE_REPOS and GL_NO_SETUP_AUTHKEYS (inspired by
|
|
the specific needs that Fedora have, but made as generic as possible)
|
|
- separating push branch rights from create branch rights changed to use the
|
|
same mechanism as the (older) mechanism for separating rewind from delete
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.3
|
|
|
|
- log file format changed; minor backward compat breakage if you've been
|
|
doing any automated log processing
|
|
- some small but important doc updates
|
|
- adc "fork" now much faster and more space-efficient (uses git clone -l)
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.2
|
|
|
|
- added test suite
|
|
|
|
- v1.5.1
|
|
|
|
- disallow creation of new refs if you want (while allowing push of the
|
|
same)
|
|
|
|
- adc "able" command added to contrib
|
|
- easy-install now takes a host-nickname parameter for convenience in
|
|
installing more than one gitolite server
|
|
- major doc revamp; contrib/autotoc added to make docs look nicer
|
|
- eliminate the need to run gl-setup on data version change, thus hopefully
|
|
obsoleting the upgrade note for v1.5 (just below).
|
|
|
|
- v1.5 -- IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES below
|
|
|
|
Upgrading to v1.5 from any version prior to v1.5 requires an extra step
|
|
for people who installed gitolite using the "system install / user setup"
|
|
method described in doc/0-INSTALL.mkd. For such installations, after the
|
|
administrator has upgraded gitolite system-wide, each "gitolite host" user
|
|
must run `gl-setup` once (this time without any arguments).
|
|
|
|
- "deny" rules should now work even in "big-config" due to previous change
|
|
- proper rule sequencing (required major format change)
|
|
|
|
- allow usergroup info to be passed in from outside, say via LDAP; see
|
|
doc/big-config.mkd for details
|
|
- (new) big-config is now part of mainline (old one had bitrotted); see
|
|
doc/big-config.mkd for details
|
|
|
|
- gl-system-install: help people simulate an RPM/DEB install by just running
|
|
that commmand with appropriate arguments; see doc/0-INSTALL.mkd
|
|
|
|
- admin-defined commands; see doc/admin-defined-commands.mkd
|
|
|
|
- v1.4.2 (prep for major refactor on rights queries
|
|
- v1.4.1 (security fix)
|
|
|
|
- REFUSE TO RUN ON SERVER GIT < 1.6.2 (do NOT upgrade gitolite to or beyond
|
|
this point if you are unable to upgrade git itself to at least 1.6.2)
|
|
|
|
- "D" must be combined with RW or RW+ (warning: minor backward compat breakage)
|
|
|
|
- v1.4

|
|
- bypass update hook if GL_BYPASS_UPDATE_HOOK is available in ENV
|

|
|
- new "D" permission (makes RW+ no longer imply "D" if used)
|
|

|
|
- allow setperms to specify @all
|
|
- post-update hook and gl-setup should be dash compat now
|
|
- workaround for a Data::Dumper crash; see 412a691
|
|
- both hooks chain to "<hookname>.secondary" now
|
|
|
|
- new style personal branches (see 2456cc1 for advantages)
|
|
|

|
|
|
- easier to move repos into gitolite
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
- expand now lists non-wildcard repos also
|
|
- refs also have groups now
|
|
- allow admins to get "info" for other users
|
|
|
|
- wildrepos merged
|
|
