Loggerhead is a web viewer for Bazaar branches. It can be used to
7
7
navigate a branch history, annotate files, perform searches... all the
14
Loggerhead depends on SimpleTAL for templating and Paste for the
15
server. So you need these installed -- on Ubuntu you want the
16
'python-simpletal' and 'python-paste' packages installed. You need
17
version 1.2 or newer of Paste.
14
Loggerhead depends on:
16
1) SimpleTAL for templating.
17
On Ubuntu, `sudo apt-get install python-simpletal`
18
or download from http://www.owlfish.com/software/simpleTAL/download.html
19
2) simplejson for producing JSON data.
20
On Ubuntu, `sudo apt-get install python-simplejson`
21
or use `easy_install simplejson`.
22
3) Paste for the server. (You need version 1.2 or newer of Paste.)
23
On Ubuntu, `sudo apt-get install python-paste`
24
or use `easy_install Paste`
25
4) Paste Deploy (optional, needed when proxying through Apache)
26
On Ubuntu, `sudo apt-get install python-pastedeploy`
27
or use `easy_install PasteDeploy`
19
29
Then simply run the 'serve-branches' with the branch you want to
20
30
serve on the command line:
30
40
Loggerhead will notice and refresh, and Bazaar uses its own branch
31
41
locking to prevent corruption.
43
To run loggerhead as a linux daemon:
44
1) Copy loggerheadd to /etc/init.d
45
2) Edit the file to configure where your loggerhead is installed, and which
46
serve-branches options you would like.
47
3) Register the service
49
a) on upstart based systems like Ubuntu run:
50
update-rc.d loggerheadd defaults
51
b) on Sysvinit based systems like Centos or SuSE run:
52
chkconfig --add loggerheadd
55
LOGGERHEAD AS A BAZAAR PLUGIN
56
-----------------------------
58
This branch contains experimental support for using Loggerhead as a Bazaar
59
plugin. To use it, place the top-level Loggerhead directory (the one
60
containing this file) at ``~/.bazaar/plugins/loggerhead``.
34
63
USING A CONFIG FILE
35
64
-------------------
37
Previous versions of Loggerhead read their configuration from a config
38
file. This mode of operation is still supported by the
39
'start-loggerhead' script. A 'loggerhead.conf.example' file is
40
included in the source which has comments explaining the various
43
Loggerhead can then be started by running::
47
This will run loggerhead in the background, listening on port 8080 by
50
To stop Loggerhead, run::
54
In the configuration file you can configure projects, and branches per
55
project. The idea is that you could be publishing several (possibly
56
unrelated) projects through the same loggerhead instance, and several
57
branches for the same project. See the "loggerhead.conf.example" file
58
included with the source.
60
A debug and access log are stored in the logs/ folder, relative to
61
the location of the start-loggerhead script.
66
To hide branches from being displayed, add to ``~/.bazaar/locations.conf``,
67
under the branch's section:
73
More configuration options to come soon.
64
76
SERVING LOGGERHEAD FROM BEHIND APACHE
70
82
configuration is one way to do this::
72
84
<Location "/branches/">
73
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/
74
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/
85
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/branches/
86
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/branches/
77
89
If Paste Deploy is installed, the 'serve-branches' script can be
78
90
run behind a proxy at the root of a site, but if you're running it at
79
some path into the site, you'll need to add a 'prefix' argument to the
80
PrefixMiddleware call in the script. More flexible configuration
81
should be added soon...
87
To speed up the display of the changelog view for large trees,
88
loggerhead can be configured to cache the files changes between
89
revisions. Set the 'cachepath' value in the config file.
91
some path into the site, you'll need to specify is using '--prefix=/some_path'.
97
Search is currently supported by using the bzr-search plugin (available
98
at: ``https://launchpad.net/bzr-search``
99
You need to have the plugin installed and each branch indexed to allow
100
searching on branches.
