I've been working on adding GitLab support to the webapp for the past 3
|
||
|
|
days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's not the only thing I've been working on; I've continued to work on
|
||
|
|
the older parts of the backlog, which is now shrunk to 91 messages, and
|
||
|
|
made some minor improvements and bugfixes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But, GitLab support in the webapp has certianly taken longer than I'd have
|
||
|
|
expected. Only had to write 82 lines of GitLab specific code so far, but it
|
||
|
|
went slowly. The user will need to cut and paste repository url and
|
||
|
|
ssh public key back and forth between the webapp and GitLab for now. And
|
||
|
|
the way GitLab repositories use git-annex makes it a bit tricky to set up;
|
||
|
|
in one case the webapp has to do a forced push dry run to check if the
|
||
|
|
repository on GitLab can be accessed by ssh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I found a way to adapt the existing code for setting up a ssh server to
|
||
|
|
also support GitLab, so beyond the repo url prompt and ssh key setup,
|
||
|
|
everything will be reused. I have something that works now, but there are
|
||
|
|
lots of cases to test (encrypted repositories, enabling existing
|
||
|
|
repositories, etc), so will need to work on it a bit more before merging
|
||
|
|
this feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also took some time to split the [centralized git repository tutorial](http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/centralized_git_repository_tutorial/)
|
||
|
|
into three parts, one for each of GitHub, GitLab, and self-administered servers.

The git-annex package in Debian unstable hasn't been updated for 8 months.
|
||
|
|
This is about to change; Richard Hartmann has stepped up and is preparing
|
||
|
|
an upload of a recent version. Yay!
