Schema Change
|
|
-------------
|
|
*WARNING:* Upgrading to 2.2.0 requires the server be first upgraded
|
|
to 2.1.7, and then to 2.2.0.
|
|
|
|
*WARNING:* This release contains schema changes. To upgrade:
|
|
----
|
|
java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
*WARNING:* The "projects" and "ref_rights" tables are no longer
|
|
stored in the SQL database. The tables have been moved to Git
|
|
storage, inside of the `refs/meta/config` branch of each managed
|
|
Git repository. The init based upgrade tool will automatically
|
|
export the current table contents and create the Git data.
|
|
|
|
New Features
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Project Administration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* issue 436 List projects by scanning the managed Git directory
|
|
+
|
|
Instead of generating the list of projects from SQL database, the
|
|
project list is obtained by recursively scanning the Git directory.
|
|
Adding new projects is now simply a matter of creating the Git
|
|
repository under the directory and flushing the "projects" cache
|
|
to force the server to rescan the directory. Administrators may
|
|
also continue to use `gerrit create-project`.
|
|
|
|
* Move "projects" table into Git
|
|
+
|
|
The projects table columns are now stored in the `project.config`
|
|
file of the `refs/meta/config` branch of each managed Git repository.
|
|
|
|
* Move "ref_rights" table into Git
|
|
+
|
|
The "ref_rights" table is now stored in the "access" sections of
|
|
the `project.config` file on the `refs/meta/config` branch of each
|
|
managed Git repository. This brings version control auditing to the
|
|
access data of each project.
|
|
|
|
* New project Access screen to edit access controls
|
|
+
|
|
The Access panel of the project administration has been rewritten
|
|
with a new UI that reflects the new Git based storage format.
|
|
|
|
Bug Fixes
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Project Administration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
* Avoid unnecessary updates to $GIT_DIR/description
|
|
+
|
|
Gerrit always tried to rewrite the gitweb "description" file when the
|
|
project was modified. This lead to unnecessary changes in the local
|
|
filesystem, leading to more data to rsync to backups than necessary.
|
|
Fixed to only update the file if the content changes.
