Git-daemon setup (running under xined)

1        Overview

This setup is made to let the gitmaster sync git via the regular git daemon

2        Install git-daemon-run package

user@server:~$sudo apt-get install git-daemon-run

3        Disable in runsv

user@server:~$sudo sv down git-daemon

user@server:~$sudo rm /etc/service/git-daemon

4        Enable in xinetd

We need to use xined to be able tospecify which hosts that should be allowed to update us

user@server:~$sudo apt-get install –y xinetd

user@server:~$sudo cat > /etc/xinetd.d/git-daemon <<'EOF'

# default: off
