Package: gitolite Version: 1.5.4-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
when changing GITDIR using dpkg-reconfigure (e.g., after having installed gitolite with debconf prio > low, i.e., having the default GITDIR = /var/lib/gitolite/), the following happens: * Because of the 'getent passwd' check in postinst (line 45), GITUSER will not be re-created, thus the old user having the old GITDIR as home directory will be preserved. * gl-setup uses 'cd' (without arguments) to change to the users home directory (line 57 in /usr/share/gitolite/gl-setup), i.e. it will (try to) change to the old GITDIR. * ⇒ the old GITDIR setting will still be used I guess, this can be fixed by (unconditionally, or in case the user exists already) setting GITUSER's home directory to GITDIR, e.g. using usermod(8).
