[rancid] Howto setup Rancid with Git on Debian?

[ACS Solutions Network]

Thank you very much Chris and please excuse the late heads up. I didn‘t thought it was just setting RCSSYS=”git” – pretty straight forward.

Whether its Debian or another distro, the basic setup is still the same. I did the same thing on CentOS. V3.6.2 has a bug when running the configure script. Check out:

As for the Git part, rancid uses a local git server that it creates the folder structure for. Each rancid group is its gets own Git repo. The key is really the rancid config file. Set RCSSYS=”git” and it will do the heavy lifting. If you need the stuff to go to a remote repo, then you will need to make the local Git do blind commits to the remote repo. That’s something one of my server admins took care of, so I’m not sure exactly how he did it.

I do not know if the Debian packaged 3.6.2 includes git support.
