Gitosis Installation on OpenSuse

The repo info is here (click and expand that page's silly javascript widgets), so for OpenSuse 11.4 (use sudo for all commands that need it):

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:elvigia/openSUSE_11.4/home:elvigia.repo zypper refresh zypper install gitosis

Then continue as outlined here, slightly adjusted for OpenSuse with user creation:

    groupadd git
    
    useradd git -d /home/git -c 'git version control' -s /bin/sh -g git -r -m
    
    sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /tmp/id_rsa.pub

Then just proceed with

`git clone git@YOUR_SERVER_HOSTNAME:gitosis-admin.git`
`on your local machine etc. etc.`

Henrik: Hi, all sounds easy enough. Did all as prescribed, still I get a pasword-prompt after git clone. Running openSUSE 11.4. Any idea? Best Henrik
