gitweb can use fastcgi out of the box (first Google result: http://sixohthree.com/1402/running-gitweb-in-fastcgi-mode http://sixohthree.com/1402/running-gitweb-in-fastcgi-mode).
Although I may agree with your comment, it sounds a little bit like an ad hominem argument. He may be wrong in other posts but can be completely right in the post we're discussing here.
- srl 14y agoApparently you and I have very different definitions of "out of the box". The link you give explicitly requires installing and configuring a fastcgi wrapper script distinct from gitweb.
- reidrac 14y agoFastCGI is supported by gitweb, you need to install the dependencies and use a command line flag + env variable (that I think it's required by the module that implements the FastCGI bits). That's not a wrapper. Read the INSTALL file: http://repo.or.cz/w/alt-git.git?a=blob_plain;f=gitweb/INSTALL http://repo.or.cz/w/alt-git.git?a=blob_plain;f=gitweb/INSTAL... (Requirements, "optional Perl modules") EDIT: ate a word.
- sanderjd 14y agoIt is not ad-hominem, he is using proof from a different source than the original article to show that the author is just flat wrong about services like Github providing no value. In this case, the minimum amount of value Github was adding was the cost of however much time it took the article to mess around with Nginx and then write his Go script. Multiplied across the entire population of people using Git (keeping in mind that many of them probably aren't capable of solving the gitweb problem), that is already a sizable value-add.
