gitosis configuration question

gitosis configuration question

[Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz]

When setting up gitosis, I want to have multiple repos available for a
particular group. However, the list of repos is too big for a single
line. The example.conf does not indicate if this is allowed.  That is,
the example that it gives is

[group mygroup]
members = Bob Carol Ted Alice
writable = base cover pot lid

Is the following allowable?

[group new group]
members = Bob Carol Ted
members = Alice
writable = base
cover
pot
lid

Of course the actual list is much larger.

Also, from the example, would the following be allowed

[repo cover]
members = Bob Carol Ted Alice

Does the last example make the repo cover writable to that group?

Hillel,
Gitosis is basically no longer supported...

For Reference:

I hope this helps!

Having said that: If you want to use it nonetheless, try using
backslashes:

[group new group]
members = Bob Carol Ted \
	Alice
writable = base \
	cover \
	pot \
	lid

Works fine at my dayjob.

Thanks. I had not been aware that it had been replaced with gitolite.
I will have to look it up and see what is available.

Gitosis is written in Python and uses the ConfigParser[1] module.
It allows line continuations in the style of RFC 822, see [2]:

foo = bar
       baz
       qux


Hope this helps,
John
