Software Configuration Management at Shlrm.org

This is definitely the way to go. I need to import the repository I synched off their site into here. It's a subversion repo, so I'll have to do some fancyness with git and git-svn to make it work.

But I have a few preliminary graphs working, and it all behaves nicely.

Instead of doing something silly, like a cron job. I have post-commit hooks that push for me. Now when I push to the central repo, it automatically, and every time, updates the git repo that redmine uses to collect information. Woot.

Now I think I still need to configure email stuff so it can do things like send registration emails and such.

I have to figure out how to get the repository to show up correctly in here. I think it will require some scripting magic on the server to keep multiple repositories up to date and the redmine database stuff up to date as well...

Found a possible solution from http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way

I run redmine with git no problem, I have a hook that updates a local checkout. Redmines git adapter doesnt work with a bare .git repo it needs a proper checkout. on post-update i just do a git pull, which since its a local repo doesnt use any more space since it maps to the master .git repo.

in my post-update before the update server info I call /bin/sh /home/git/repositories/project.git/hooks/update_local_repo.sh

and that script looks like;
!/bin/sh

cd /home/git/checkout/project || exit unset GIT_DIR git pull /home/git/repositories/project.git/ master

I also have a cron job that updates redmines repositories every 30 minutes rather than each time a user hits the repo and having redmine check for updates (slow). (ruby script/runner “Repository.fetch_changesets” -e production)

Hopefully this will be what I need to use.
