Building cgit involves building a proper version of git. How to do this
|
||||||
|
depends on how you obtained the cgit sources:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to
|
||||||
|
initialize and update the git submodule:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ git submodule init # register the git submodule in .git/config
|
||||||
|
$ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git
|
||||||
|
$ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git
|
||||||
|
version like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ make get-git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like
|
||||||
|
this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ make
|
$ make
|
||||||
$ su
|
$ sudo make install
|
||||||
$ make install
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit".
|
This will install cgit.cgi and cgit.css into "/var/www/htdocs/cgit". You can
|
||||||
|
configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a "cgit.conf"
|
||||||
Note: The initial "make" will create a submodule 'git' and clone the git
|
file (see the Makefile for details).
|
||||||
repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git in it. If you
|
|
||||||
already have a local git git repository that you want to use as origin
|
|
||||||
for the submodule, run
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
$ git clone -s <path-to-git-repo> git
|
|
||||||
$ ./submodules.sh -u
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
before running "make".

a similar number of "most recent" tags.

* There should be a new page for browsing refs/heads and refs/tags, with links

from the summary page whenever the branch/tag lists overflow.
|
||||||
|
|

|
* The log-page should have more/better search options (author, committer,
|

|
pickaxe, paths) and possibly support arbitrary revision specifiers.

|
|

|
* A set of test-scripts is required before cgit-1.0 can be released.
