2007-02-04Add support for prefix and gitsrc arguments to 'make'Lars Hjemli
This should improve the installation a little, especially since the new options are mentioned in the README. Also, add a make-rule to build the git binaries if necessary + a dependency between cgit and libgit.a. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>

2006-12-10Add caching infrastructureLars Hjemli
This enables internal caching of page output. Page requests are split into four groups: 1) repo listing (front page) 2) repo summary 3) repo pages w/symbolic references in query string 4) repo pages w/constant sha1's in query string Each group has a TTL specified in minutes. When a page is requested, a cached filename is stat(2)'ed and st_mtime is compared to time(2). If TTL has expired (or the file didn't exist), the cached file is regenerated. When generating a cached file, locking is used to avoid parallell processing of the request. If multiple processes tries to aquire the same lock, the ones who fail to get the lock serves the (expired) cached file. If the cached file don't exist, the process instead calls sched_yield(2) before restarting the request processing. Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
