The untar tests for various compression algorithms use shortcut options from GNU tar to handle decompression. These options may not be provided by non-GNU tar nor even by slightly older GNU tar versions which ship on many systems. An example of the latter case is the --zstd option. This was added in GNU tar-1.32 (2019-02-23)¹. This version of tar is not provided by CentOS/RHEL, in particular. In Debian, --zstd has been backported to the tar-1.30 release. Avoid the requirement on any specific implementations or versions of tar by piping decompressed output to tar. This is compatible with older GNU tar releases as well as tar implementations from other vendors. (It may also be a slight benefit that this more closely matches what the snapshot creation code does.) ¹ Technically, the --zstd option was first released in tar-1.31 (2019-01-02), but this release was very short-lived and is no longer listed on the GNU Tar release page.

cgit - CGI for Git ================== This is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the Git SCM, using a built-in cache to decrease server I/O pressure. Installation ------------ Building cgit involves building a proper version of Git. How to do this depends on how you obtained the cgit sources: a) If you're working in a cloned cgit repository, you first need to initialize and update the Git submodule: $ git submodule init # register the Git submodule in .git/config $ $EDITOR .git/config # if you want to specify a different url for git $ git submodule update # clone/fetch and checkout correct git version b) If you're building from a cgit tarball, you can download a proper git version like this: $ make get-git When either a) or b) has been performed, you can build and install cgit like this: $ make $ sudo make install This will install `cgit.cgi` and `cgit.css` into `/var/www/htdocs/cgit`. You can configure this location (and a few other things) by providing a `cgit.conf` file (see the Makefile for details). If you'd like to compile without Lua support, you may use: $ make NO_LUA=1 And if you'd like to specify a Lua implementation, you may use: $ make LUA_PKGCONFIG=lua5.1 If this is not specified, the Lua implementation will be auto-detected, preferring LuaJIT if many are present. Acceptable values are generally "lua", "luajit", "lua5.1", and "lua5.2". Dependencies ------------ * libzip * libcrypto (OpenSSL) * libssl (OpenSSL) * optional: luajit or lua, most reliably used when pkg-config is available Apache configuration -------------------- A new `Directory` section must probably be added for cgit, possibly something like this: <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/cgit/"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Runtime configuration --------------------- The file `/etc/cgitrc` is read by cgit before handling a request. In addition to runtime parameters, this file may also contain a list of repositories displayed by cgit (see `cgitrc.5.txt` for further details). The cache --------- When cgit is invoked it looks for a cache file matching the request and returns it to the client. If no such cache file exists (or if it has expired), the content for the request is written into the proper cache file before the file is returned. If the cache file has expired but cgit is unable to obtain a lock for it, the stale cache file is returned to the client. This is done to favour page throughput over page freshness. The generated content contains the complete response to the client, including the HTTP headers `Modified` and `Expires`. Online presence --------------- * The cgit homepage is hosted by cgit at <https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/about/> * Patches, bug reports, discussions and support should go to the cgit mailing list: <cgit@lists.zx2c4.com>.
