git-daemon-run for Debian ------------------------- This package enables a git-daemon service. This allows people to use a git:// URL to access your repositories. After installing this package, wait five seconds for the git-daemon service to be picked up by runit, and check its status and logs: sv stat git-daemon cat /var/log/git-daemon/current See the sv(8) program on how to manage the service, or, alternatively, create a symbolic link /etc/init.d/git-daemon pointing to /usr/bin/sv to have an LSB compatible interface to control it: ln -s /usr/bin/sv /etc/init.d/git-daemon /etc/init.d/git-daemon status The git daemon by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for repositories (this is configured in /etc/sv/git-daemon/run). It expects the repositories' .git subdirectories in that directory, symlinks pointing to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just fine, e.g.: ln -s ~pape/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git This makes 'git-clone git://git.example.org/git/foo' to clone the foo repository on remote machines work. -- Gerrit Pape Sun, 03 Jun 2007 09:51:53 +0000
