From 3.1 to 4.0

IMPORTANT!

In this release we enabled namespaces for projects.

It requires from our users to replace gitolite post-receive hook with new one.

Most of projects has post-receive file as symlink to gitolite /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/post-receive. But some of them may have a real file. In this case you should rewrite it with symlink to gitolite hook.

I wrote a bash script which will do it automatically for you. Just make sure all path inside is valid for you

---

1. Stop server & resque

sudo service gitlab stop

2. Update GitLab

# Get latest code
sudo -u gitlab -H git fetch
sudo -u gitlab -H git checkout 5d219bd5

# Install gems for MySQL
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle install --without development test postgres

# Update repos permissions
sudo chmod -R ug+rwXs /home/git/repositories/
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/repositories/

# Migrate db
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

# Activate namespaces (Warning! All projects under groups will be moved to subdirectories)
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:activate_namespaces RAILS_ENV=production

3. Update post-receive hooks

Gitolite 3

Step 1: Rewrite post-receive hook

# Rewrite hook for gitolite 3
sudo cp ./lib/hooks/post-receive /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive
sudo chown git:git /home/git/.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive

Step 2: Rewrite hooks in all projects to symlink gitolite hook

# 1. Check for valid path
sudo -u gitlab -H vim lib/support/rewrite-hooks.sh

# 2. Run script
sudo -u git -H lib/support/rewrite-hooks.sh

Gitolite v2

Step 1: rewrite post-receive hook for gitolite 2

sudo cp ./lib/hooks/post-receive /home/git/share/gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive
sudo chown git:git /home/git/share/gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive

Step 2: Replace symlinks in project to valid place

#!/bin/bash
src="/home/git/repositories"
for dir in `ls "$src/"`
do
  if [ -d "$src/$dir" ]; then

    if [ "$dir" = "gitolite-admin.git" ]
    then
      continue 
    fi

    project_hook="$src/$dir/hooks/post-receive"
    gitolite_hook="/home/git/share/gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive"

    ln -s -f $gitolite_hook $project_hook
  fi
done

4. Check app status

# Check APP Status
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:app:status RAILS_ENV=production

5. Start all

sudo service gitlab start
