Kallithea

Q. can Kallithea add "static web pages" .. (perhaps with the "Apache sub-directory" setup?)

andrewsh on #kallithea: technically, there's  directory, which you can put stuff into; it's just a directory where static files go if you use , it's around line 59 in  , otherwise it's in your webserver's configuration. You can link that to the web interface using "Analytics" setting, there you can type there random HTML or JS stuff to modify the DOM whatever way you like.

Please contact the infrastructure-dev@apache.org mailing list if you have comments or suggestions regarding this service.

Apache Software Foundation (ASF) infrastructure has evolved over more than a decade, with several major internal revisions, leading to the current implementations. ASF infrastructure design has concepts of mirrors (sites) and committers (people) built-in throughout. The ability of an ASF project to semi-autonomously create its own repositories and web presence, which then benefits from shared authentication, backup and other infrastructure services, is fundamental. Core servers were BSD and Solaris as well as Linux; small tools are often bash, perl, xslt and others; substantial backend engines are often implemented in java.

The 2013 U.S. Form 990 lists gross income for the ASF as $1.1 million, with $489k spent on infrastructure maintenance and development.

Debian Project Git
UPDATE: Debian now uses a Gitlab interface -- https://salsa.debian.org/public

The Debian Project hosts extensive, custom-built project and package infrastructure including a comprehensive git interface using cgit, replacing an earlier gitweb system (when?).

cgit Browser: 30,000 entries among four hundred eighty catagories.

Various ways to address content via URL:
 * Project pkg-grass
 * Project qa Package
 * Package Group
 * Package
 * Username

gitweb Repository Browser Example:

Alioth.debian.org is a Debian server running FusionForge WIKI Git endpoints are integrated under Alioth (how? - see debsources above)

Debian pkg-grass is maintained largely by   Debian Developer (DD)

Wikimedia Foundation Git
twentyafterfour on #wikimedia-labs: phabricator might still be a decent way of managing your repositories; our phabricator accepts LDAP logins plus OAuth. It's essentially the same thing as gitolite but with a lot more automation around account management, key management and hooks. Phabricator integrates all of that into one package (which can still be somewhat automated / integrated with other tools) Gitolite likely doesn't support LDAP; certainly a lot lighter weight than Phab stack, if you are comfortable with perl and don't mind doing a bit of integration work; you have to deal with account management yourself.

mutante on #wikimedia-devtools says: we currently use gerrit for code review gerrit.wikimedia.org and gitblit for git.wikimedia.org. Things are being migrated to phabricator.wikimedia.org though diffusion. You are in the right channel. You can git clone all of our server configs btw. it's a puppet repo and all public. you might also be interested in wikitech.wikimedia.org, our labs environment where you can get free virtual machines to test things
