cgit testing

[Kevin Fenzi]

So, I sat down today and got cgit mostly working for us to test. 

For pkgs: 

Just go to: 

http://pkgs.stg.fedoraproject.org/cgit/

For hosted: 

edit your /etc/hosts and add: 
66.135.62.201  fedorahosted.org git.fedorahosted.org

Then go to: 

http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/

It could be tweaked more for sure, but it seems to work and is
reasonably zippy. 

Can anyone think of any reason not to just enable this on
hosted03/pkgs01? It can live alongside gitweb-caching and we can look
at redirects to take over when we want to retire gitweb-caching.

Some things to look at before announcing/making live/retiring
gitweb-caching: 

- Do we want to ask the design/websites folks for a custom css thats
  more "fedora-ey" ?

- How much do we want to try and set redirects to replace
  gitweb-caching?

Sounds like a winner then ;-)

Do we end up chewing "twice" the resources that way?  If gitweb-caching
is
already causing us load issues sometimes... seems like we're just adding
more buren to the machines.

OTOH, if it lets us get gitweb-caching off sooner to have cgit stood up on
the hosts ASAP, then +1 :-)

I wouldn't block on either of these.  I think that the css could be done
after the fact.  redirects I think we've determined are nice to have but
if links in mailing list archives break, we're prepared to accept that.

I concur with Toshio on all counts.

turn it on - and let's see about nuking gitweb with fire.

ok. I have pushed this out. 

http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/
and
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/

should be live and working. 

We can discuss at the meeting this week how we want to handle the
transition over from gitweb-caching and see if we can get it nuked. 

Please do hit the above areas and let me know if you see any issues.

Yeah, we apparently hit a cgit error right away. 

Tmz has been working on debugging it. it seems related to projects with
very long description lines. 

Hopefully we will have a fix soon.

Should all be working now. 

It's apparently a bug in cgit when you have a repo with a description
larger than 254 characters. ;( 

Tmz figured it out and got things fixed up.
