The move away from Gitolite is great as I know it was the source of many of install and upgrade headaches however the new component they've replaced it with is very very closely coupled to GitLab.
This could have been a great chance to create a lightweight alternative to Gitolite for other projects to use too.
- sytse 14y agoYes, we hope to make installing and upgrading GitLab much easier this way. We wanted to allow other projects to use GitLab-shell too, that is why we made it a separate project https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell
- jamesmoss 14y agoI know that but much of the authentication and post receive stuff is hard coded to point at the GitLab API. If you could abstract this it'd be great.
- sytse 14y agoWe are open to proposals and pull requests to do this. It is not very productive to abstract things without a few examples of projects it should be generalized for.
