Updating elfutils-htdocs.git checkout by multiple people in group

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi,

We have a simple elfutils-htdocs.git repo that has all our sourceware
project HTML files. It gets updated by a post-update hook. So whenever
something is checked in, it immediately updates our project page.

But some files are not group writable and so cannot be updated (by the
post-update hook). e.g. when I check something in now I always get
errors like the following:

remote: warning: unable to unlink coverage-0.168/libelf/gelf_newehdr.c.func.html: Permission denied

Could the files under /sourceware/www/sourceware/htdocs/elfutils
somehow be turned automatically to g+w to make it able for anybody in the
elfutils group to update the files?

Thanks,

Mark

I've just done a chmod -R g+w in that directory.  Hopefully that will
fix it.  Let us know if not.
