Hi all, Quite a while ago I looked at using using Gitalist instead of gitweb for perl5.git.perl.org. At the time it wasn't really ready, but it's improved quite a bit. David Morel gave me a Catalyst book and over the last few days I've implemented most of the missing parts. Some of the improvements over gitweb (for those of you who already use Gitalist, many improvements currently sit in branches at https://github.com/seveas/Gitalist -- Dan will review them when he has time): * It's a proper web application, thus easily extendable. For example, the committer overview was integrated instead of being a horrible cgi script hack: http://perl5.git.perl.org:3000/committers * Syntax highlighting using Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate. Example: http://perl5.git.perl.org:3000/perl.git/HEAD/blob/overload.c http://perl5.git.perl.org:3000/perl.git/HEAD/blob/lib%2FAnyDBM_File.pm * POD (and markdown) rendering: http://perl5.git.perl.org:3000/perl.git/HEAD/html/pod%2Fperlgit.pod * Pluggable snapshot generator, reducing the size of our own hack. * Cherrymaint could be integrated at some point You can test it at: http://perl5.git.perl.org:3000/ If you do, please provide feedback here or in #p5p and I'll address it as soon as I can. There are some known issues: * This is a test instance, running on Catalyst's internal testserver. This makes it slower than needed. * Tree view loads commit info with ajax calls, this is slow, probably due to the above * The search is less full-featured than gitweb's, which Yves improved. This will be fixed :) * Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate is a bit buggy, e.g. in C code the number 4 renders differently for some reason * Commit messages in gitweb are links to their commit. In Gitalist they are not. My initial patch is buggy or tickles a bug in Git::PurePerl that causes a filedescriptor leak, so that's been reverted for now. -- Dennis Kaarsemaker, Systems Architect Booking.com Herengracht 597, 1017 CE Amsterdam Tel external +31 (0) 20 715 3409 Tel internal (7207) 3409Thread Next
