GitSetup

Git setup on span

I push siteinfo and firstboot work to git repositories on my home dir on span.nikhef.nl. I installed gitweb to have an easy web frontend for these repositories.

I followed the instructions from Gitweb wiki.

The git installation on span is from DAG:

git-1.5.2.1-1.el5.rf

The web application gitweb.cgi is not included in the rpm, so it was built from the sources in the source rpm.

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/git/git-1.5.2.1-1.rf.src.rpm
rpm -i git-1.5.2.1-1.rf.src.rpm 
cd rpmbuild/SOURCES/
tar xfj git-1.5.2.1.tar.bz2 
cd git-1.5.2.1
make GITWEB_PROJECTROOT=/srv/git prefix=/usr gitweb/gitweb.cgi

gitweb is installed in

/srv/git

Apache configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf:

Alias /git /srv/git

<Directory /srv/git >
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI 
	AddHandler cgi-script cgi
        AllowOverride None
	DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /git
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^.* /gitweb.cgi/$0 [L,PT]
</Directory>

The /srv/git directory contains symlinks to the repositories.

$ ll /srv/git
