Description:
This update for gitolite fixes the following issues:
Gitolite was updated to 3.6.9:
– CVE-2018-16976: prevent racy access to repos in process of migration to
gitolite (boo#1108272)
– ‘info’ learns new ‘-p’ option to show only physical repos (as opposed to
wild repos)
The update to 3.6.8 contains:
– fix bug when deleting *all* hooks for a repo
– allow trailing slashes in repo names
– make pre-receive hook driver bail on non-zero exit of a pre-receive hook
– allow templates in gitolite.conf (new feature)
– various optimiations
The update to 3.6.7 contains:
– allow repo-specific hooks to be organised into subdirectories, and allow
the multi-hook driver to be placed in some other location of your choice
– allow simple test code to be embedded within the gitolite.conf file; see
contrib/utils/testconf for how. (This goes on the client side, not on
the server)
– allow syslog “facility” to be changed, from the default of ‘local0’
– allow syslog “facility” to be changed, from the default of replaced with
a space separated list of members
The update to 3.6.6 contains:
– simple but important fix for a future perl deprecation (perl will be
removing “.” from @INC in 5.24)
– ‘perms’ now requires a ‘-c’ to activate batch mode (should not affect
interactive use but check your scripts perhaps?)
– gitolite setup now accepts a ‘-m’ option to supply a custom message
(useful when it is used by a script)
