While at it, it also aims to serve as a testbed\nfor various new cool gitweb-related enhancements.\n\n I have finally got around to enhance it some more. Here go the big\nchanges:\n\n\n (i) repo.or.cz now permits an alternative hosting model: instead of\nmirroring a remote repository, you can push over SSH. This makes\nrepo.or.cz full-fledged public hosting service. Each developer can\ncreate own account, and you can give push access to multiple developers\nif you want to do the CVS-style development. Authentication is done\npurely using SSH keys. Furthermore, _optional_ support for anonymous\npushing to a dedicated 'mob' branch is supported.\n\n\n (ii) Bunch of extra project fields have been added - you can now\ncustomize short description, homepage URL, give a short README to be\nshown at the project summary page, ...\n\n\n (iii) Reorganized and extended the online documentation; gitweb now\nuses pathinfo URLs and is aliased to http://repo.or.cz/w/\n\n\n (iv) Select a project and click at the 'graphiclog' button; if you\nhave a javascript-capable browser, watch the fireworks. This gadget\n(http://repo.or.cz/w/git-browser.git) is nearly year old now and\nback then swooshed through the mailing list without much interest\n(apart few \"cool!\" replies). And I positively *HATE* not having it\nwhen I browse any project whose history is not totally linear.\n\n OTOH, I have almost zero javascript skills so I'm not gonna be able\nto develop it much further. Will someone pick up the slack? It's pretty\nnice but leaves much to be desired; more tight gitweb integration (make\nit basically some kind of external gitweb plugin) would be great.\n\n\n (v) Basically all the infrastructure is available at\n\n\thttp://repo.or.cz/w/repo.git\n\nPlease review the code, send patches, feel free to roll out your very\nown...\n\n\n What now? Send me your ideas, or even patches! (Hey, the code is\npublic. ;-) It might be interesting to have some forking support: there\ngoes project X and anyone can setup project fork(X, foo) and push his\nchanges there. I currently think the best way to do it technically would\nbe to just set up a separate repository with alternate pointing to the\nmain repository's database, and only group the forks with the main\nproject in gitweb. Is there a demand for that?\n\n-- \n\t\t\t\tPetr \"Pasky\" Baudis\nStuff: http://pasky.or.cz/\n#!/bin/perl -sp0777i wrote:\n> few weeks ago, I have announced repo.or.cz public mirroring service\n> which would snap repositories, mirror them and provide a gitweb\n> interface for them.
