[rancid] Rancid 3.1.99 Alpha git integration issues.

[Thomas Greer]

Hi All

I’ve recently (read today) installed the above alpha in anticipation of the git support. I’ve setup rancid a few times before, but I’m struggling with the git stuff.

When I run rancid-cvs after a fresh install, I get a load of errors.

-bash-4.1$ ./bin/rancid-cvs
error: Malformed value for push.default: simple
error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
fatal: bad config file line 6 in /usr/local/rancid//.gitconfig

My rancid.conf contains:

# Select which RCS system to use, "cvs" (default), "svn" or "git". Do not
# change this after CVSROOT has been created with rancid-cvs. Changing between
# these requires manual conversions.
RCSSYS=git; export RCSSYS

The README and UPGRADING mention nothing specific to initialising git other than to run rancid-cvs.

Running on Centos 6.6
git version 1.7.1

Any help would be appreciated with this.

Thanks

Thomas

entirely possible that i've screwed-up the git support; i'll have to re-test
it. but, this error is odd. rancid-cvs doesnt create .gitconfig itself.
so, what is the source of that file and thus this error?

Either make install, or rancid-cvs. I rm’d the /usr/local/rancid directory before running make install

I'm not certain why this error occurs; it occurs with git 1.7, but not git
2.3. Is it reasonable to just upgrade your installation of git?

[Thomas Greer]

That's the highest available is centos standard. I can have a look and see

Hi.

​The default push mode did change in git 2.0.0 (
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.0.0.txt#L7-L23).
Before 2.0.0 it was "matching" but from 2.0.0 it's "simple". The error
occurs when using a git version less than 1.7.11 (when "simple" where
introduced, see
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt#L9-L14).
​

To fix that a compatible mode must be used, like "current" (or "matching").
This can be set by running "git config push.default <mode>" or manually
editing the repository git config file (please don't set this globally).

For more information of the available modes (and what they do), search for
"push.default" in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config.

?I tried changing the line in rancid-cvs to say matching instead of simple... still many errors, suspect it's not just a simple swap out a keyword fix.

It does work for me; git 1.7.10.4. make sure that you start with a clean
slate, including ~/.gitconfig.

Thanks Per Carlson.

no; i receive no such errors. if you started with a totally clean env,
there is a variance between even 1.7.1 and 1.7.11.4. i'm not a git user;
you apparently are, so whats wrong with this:

git init --bare $CVSROOT/$GROUP
git clone $CVSROOT/$GROUP .
git config --global user.name RANCiD
git config --global user.email $USER$MAILDOMAIN
git config --global push.default current

its clones it fine, commits fine, why wouldnt it push w/o specifying a
branch? i dont want to specify a branch; i expect a user may clone sth.
specific and pushes should just go to that branch - which is what
"current" seems like its intended to do and seems to work in the previously
mentioned versions.

can't you just install sth. more recent and move on? 1.7.1 doesnt even
appear to be available anymore. even the debian pkg is more than 2 years
old.

If I fancy compiling git from scratch, sure, but that’s the latest debian has. Let me try again.

the process seems layed-out here:
http://tecadmin.net/install-git-2-0-on-centos-rhel-fedora/

maybe one of these other rpm repos has a newer git?

or what command provides the branch name of the clone, which can then be
passed to push?

It appears, that i has matching, which doesn’t play ball, however, current works fine.

I’ll soldier on.

Many thanks
