Peter is in charge of the GIT repository, and I've offered to make the changes once we've agreed exactly on what should be done. >> Unfortunately, the requirements have also been raised a bit (such as >> allowing a user to delegate access to another user) > > Who raised those requirements, and where did that discussion take > place?

Not mine :-) My suggestion is to fix what we have now, and then add more stuff later. >> which means it will take longer. >> >> Now, if you can give us a step-by-step on how to set it up, that >> would certainly help ;-) > > Gitosis does not, as far as I can tell, have that delegation > capability, but I've come up with a way to do this: > > 1.

I was looking into being able to do it using gitosis, with an interface on top of it's existing GIT repository for being able to delegate this. I think it can be done without modifying gitosis itself, by just writing some simple frontend script on top of it. What do you think of this idea? //Magnus -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
