Package: gitosis Version: 0.2+20080825-15 Preconditions - gitweb is properly configured to display repositories managed by gitosis - I have defined repository "foo" in gitosis-admin/gitosis.conf by adding a "[repo foo]" section with "gitweb = yes" and "daemon = yes" entries; the repo is also marked writable in one group - I have pushed the changes in gitosis.conf to the server - The repository foo does not exist on the server side, i.e. there is no directory /srv/gitosis/repositories/foo - I have a bare git repository on the local side - Inside the bare repo's directory I have run "git remote add origin gito...@myserver:foo.git"
Action - Inside the bare repo's directory I run "git push --all" Result - The repository is created on the server side, i.e. there is now a directory /srv/gitosis/repositories/foo - The top-level directory /srv/gitosis/repositories/foo has permissions 750 and owner/group = gitosis/gitosis Problem - gitweb does not display the repository - Reason: The web server runs with user/group = www-data/www-data, but this user/group combination does not have permission to enter the repository's top-level directory - I have not yet tested the setup with the git-daemon-run package, but I imagine that git-daemon-run will have the same problem as gitweb since it runs with user/group = git-daemon:nogroup Solution - gitosis should create repositories with permissions 755 - What would also work is to add user www-data to the group gitosis, but I would vastly prefer the above - To be a bit paranoid, it might be ok for gitosis to change permissions to 755 only after "gitweb = yes" or "daemon = yes" has been set; if both are set to "no", permissions could be reverted to 750 Thanks Patrick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
