Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gitosis
In started using gitosis in jaunty, and in
~gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks
which is a fundamental directory (since all gitosis activity is
concentrated in what it does when you push a change in configuration), I
(automatically) had the link
post-update -> /usr/share/python-
support/gitosis/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update
. Unfortunately, when upgrading to karmic (gitosis 0.2+20080825-15),
that file moved to
/usr/share/pyshared/gitosis/templates/admin/hooks/post-update
so the link became stale. This is _very_ unfortunate, since when post-
update hook is not run, one can do _nothing_ (in particular I was not
able do add a new user), not even enable debug! Moreover, the push of
the gitosis-admin repository gives no error, so it is not easy to
understand where the problem is (all you get can be a clueless
"ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied" when your user
that you think you have enabled tries to access).
As far as I can imagine, this will affect _all_ gitosis users upgrading.
The only way I can interpret the fact that this bug has not been filed
is that either gitosis is really not much used, or that not many servers
have been upgraded to karmic.
** Affects: gitosis (Ubuntu)
