So the manifests are not generated, please note that their will be 1 manifest per mirror:
manifest_mirror_1.js.gz
manifest_mirror_2.js.gz
...

You need to lower the log level, in local inc, you should add:
$sys_logger_level = 'debug';

And activate again mirroring on a repo

What do you have in /var/lib/tuleap/gitolite/grokmirror ?
And do you see any useful info in /var/log/codendi/codendi_syslog ? (look at "grok" or "post-recieve")

Hello Manuel,

I am testing tuleap 7.5.99.72

1- I run grokmanifest to have the manifest:
grok-manifest -m /var/lib/codendi/gitolite/grokmirror/manifest.js -t /var/lib/codendi/gitolite/repositories


2- I added a new mirror

3- I configured the mirror with the forge user and added it to the " Retrieve User Membership Information" group

4- I created a new git repository

5- i selected it for the mirroring ( all my system events are PASSED)

However, I don't see any modification on the manifest.

could you please tell me what is wrong with my use case?


thank you for your support.


regards,
Nouha

For point 1, grokmirror generates a full list when manifest file does not exist.
I would recommend to use an empty template (you can find them attached) when creating a new mirror then when adding a git, only git in argument is added in manifest.

For point 1, I think we can make use of the --check-export-ok flag (ps: we haven't tested it).
It will not remove the repositories belonging to other mirror, but at least it reduces the exported repositories' number to manifests.

I would add it in paragrah "8.14.1. Setup tuleap-gitolite-membership", at the end of step 3.

For @terzino :
  So $UNSAFE_PATT seems to have sovled 'bad config' issue

For @lefort:
  I was not aware of this gitolite command, at which step should it be added in the doc ?

Do you have used following command to disable write access from mirror ?
gitolite writable @all off

Nouha Terzi (terzino)2014-10-10 14:47
In .gitolite.rc, do you have this section after %RC = ( ...........); and before 1; :
$UNSAFE_PATT = qr();

Ok so as of Tuleap 7.5.99.58, you should be able to test with Tuleap that generates manifests.
I need your review of the admin doc because I'm not really confident about the mirror part (esp. integration with gitolite)

Esp, when I run grok-pull, I get several errors:

Error 1:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/grok-pull", line 592, in <module>
    sect_retval = pull_mirror(section, config, opts)
  File "/usr/bin/grok-pull", line 501, in pull_mirror
    set_owner_description(toplevel, gitdir, owner, desc)
  File "/usr/bin/grok-pull", line 62, in set_owner_description
    if description is not None and repo.description != description:
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 163, in _get_description
    return file(filename).read().rstrip()
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/var/lib/gitolite3/repositories/mozilla/u/vaceletm/firefox.git/description'

Error 2: (in gitolite logs)

2014-10-09.14:03:22     701             system,gitolite compile
2014-10-09.14:03:22     701     die     bad config value 't=%s; git show --name-status --pretty='format:URL: https://red.tuleap-aio-dev.dev.docker/plugins/git/mozilla/firefox?p=firefox.git&a=commitdiff&h=%%H%%nAuthor: %%an <%%ae>%%nDate: %%aD%%n%%n%%s%%n%%b' $t'
2014-10-09.14:03:22     701             system() failed,gitolite compile,-> 6400

How did you work around those issues ?

In addition to that, when I run other grok-pull (after the inital one) I have to add -r switch otherwise I get following error:

-sh-4.1$ /usr/bin/grok-pull -p -c /etc/grokmirror/repos.conf
Found existing repository in /var/lib/gitolite3/repositories/gitolite-admin.git
Run with -r to use existing repos

Did you get that too ?

Finally we identified 2 major issues:

  1. Even if we separate the mirrors (different grokmirror-manifest calls per repo / mirrors), each time ALL the repositories are listed in ALL manifests
  2. When we manage to replicate gitolite-admin repo, the final permissions that applies on the mirror are the same than master. It means that users have WRITE access to mirror!

For the first issue, there is an alternative: tuleap can generate a grokmirror compatible manifest.

For the second issue it's still open...

What do you think ?
