It could be something good for ungited/remote people to get a tar for a specific tree. gd provide to create graphs and is often use in "web project" to generate graphe. Could it here generated a graph of branches like in gitk ? It also could be cool to allow people to get binary files in an other mimetype that text/plain. Here are my wish :D it's worth what it's worth. -- Beber #e.fr@freenode ``` ## Alan Chandler, 2006-02-09 00:03 Subject: Re: gitweb: View graphes & get tar Message-ID: <200602090003.35354.alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200602090003.35354.alan%40chandlerfamily.org.uk In-Reply-To: <4fb292fa0602081534x7f6e74c1veb8c4ea7ad5a83cc@mail.gmail.com> ``` On Wednesday 08 February 2006 23:34, Bertrand Jacquin wrote: > Hi, > > Is gitweb maintainer planned to allow people to get from gitweb ?

You can do some of that a different way. I have it set up so that when I push a tag into my public git repositories, that a post-update hook creates a tarball of the site and puts it into the download directory. The hook is of the following form #!/bin/sh # # This script is used to create a tarball of the project and place it into the "files" # directory of the web site whenever a release is tagged in the repository # PROJECT=akcmoney # this should look at each positional parameter for ref ; do #if its a tag then create a tarball if [ "${ref:0:10}" == "refs/tags/" ] ; then git-tar-tree ${ref:10} $PROJECT | gzip -9 > /var/www/chandlerfamily/files/$PROJECT/$PROJECT-${ref:10}.tar.gz fi done -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk Open Source. It's the difference between trust and antitrust. ``` ## Bertrand Jacquin, 2006-02-09 11:12 Subject: Re: gitweb: View graphes & get tar Message-ID: <4fb292fa0602090312k1607e42fu88e03b788d339390@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4fb292fa0602090312k1607e42fu88e03b788d339390%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <200602090003.35354.alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk> ``` On 2/9/06, Alan Chandler wrote: > On Wednesday 08 February 2006 23:34, Bertrand Jacquin wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Is gitweb maintainer planned to allow people to get from gitweb ?

If i want to get a tar tree for 2 months old in not master branch, I can't with that. The idea here is the create the tar on the fly, on the user demand. And also, I use http push so hooks can't be used :/ > > -- > Alan Chandler > http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk > Open Source.

I have something like that in my gitweb tree (http://www.liacs.nl/~sverdool/gitweb.cgi?p=gitweb.git;a=summary) I haven't updated it for a while, though... I usually get a lot of merge conflicts when Kay changes a particular line that appear about a hundred times in his version and only once in my version... skimo ``` ## Andreas Ericsson, 2006-02-09 12:11 Subject: Re: gitweb: View graphes & get tar Message-ID: <43EB3158.8070003@op5.se> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/43EB3158.8070003%40op5.se In-Reply-To: <4fb292fa0602090312k1607e42fu88e03b788d339390@mail.gmail.com> ``` Bertrand Jacquin wrote: > On 2/9/06, Alan Chandler wrote: > >>On Wednesday 08 February 2006 23:34, Bertrand Jacquin wrote: >> >> >>I have it set up so that when I push a tag into my public git repositories, >>that a post-update hook creates a tarball of the site and puts it into the >>download directory. >> >>The hook is of the following form >> >>#!/bin/sh >># >># This script is used to create a tarball of the project and place it into the >>"files" >># directory of the web site whenever a release is tagged in the repository >># >>PROJECT=akcmoney >># this should look at each positional parameter >>for ref ; do >>#if its a tag then create a tarball >> if [ "${ref:0:10}" == "refs/tags/" ] ; then >> git-tar-tree ${ref:10} $PROJECT | gzip -9 >> >>>/var/www/chandlerfamily/files/$PROJECT/$PROJECT-${ref:10}.tar.gz >> >> fi >>done > > > That's ok, but with that I couldn't get a tar for _not_ the current > tree.

This should be really trivial to implement, although I seriously doubt its usefulness, not to mention that for large projects it would be painfully slow. The only valid reason someone has to get a tar-ball of a random development point is to debug it, and for that they should check out the whole repo anyways, which will enable them to use the excellent bisect tool. > And also, I use http push so hooks can't be used :/ > I suffer for you. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ```
