		<description><![CDATA[Git is a wonderful source code management tool. I've been using it now for some weeks of development and I felt ready to deploy my very own repository out on the intarwebs. While there is a lot of documentation available for using git there is also remarkably very little written about the minefield of caveats that is git and Ubuntu. I've been trying to create a repository on the server for almost a day until I caved in and resorted to asking people how they did it.

There is currently more than a year old issue on ubuntu, where installing git-daemon-run package clearly does not work. The dependency to runit, which is configured in a rather wrong way, breaks the installation. Unfortunately for us, that means we need to create our own init script that starts up the git-deamon as a service.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=batterypowered.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3736150&amp;post=17&amp;subd=batterypowered&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
