Hello,

Linaro Systems and ITS teams are glad to announce general availability of new generation of Private Git/Gerrit service. This service is the successor of https://linaro-private.git.linaro.org/ , older Git-only private service, and is based on underlying solutions which proved themselves well on public Linaro Git services, specifically:

1. https://dev-private-git.linaro.org offers Gitweb browser and Gitolite git self-management service. 2. https://dev-private-review.linaro.org adds change review capabilities for private projects using Gerrit.

During the initial pilot period with couple of Linaro teams, requirements for secure private hosting were determined. It is based on providing each team a separate project area (identified by project path prefix), access control to which is governed by a specific LDAP group. Each project area is completely independent and not accessible to any other group.

To start using the new private service, a manager of interested team should prepare and provide project prefix and LDAP group name, as explained above, and submit an ITS ticket in a usual way. More details of the initial setup, usage, and constraints of the service are available at https://wiki.linaro.org/Internal/Platform/Systems/GitPrivate

We welcome teams interested in private Git hosting to take benefit of the new service, as well as teams which use older server at https://linaro-private.git.linaro.org/ to migrate to the new one.
