Hi

Note: I am a completely ruby clueless.

Thanks I have now installed all the deps, but I am having trouble
running gitorious.

I have created a database called "gitorious_development", and have
pointed
gitorious.yml to my shared git repositories.

when I run "./scripts/server -p development" I get "500 Internal
Server Error"

-How does the database get populated?
-Am I calling the right script to run the server?
-What does "set the 'ready' status to true" mean (from the HACKING
file).


Thanks in advance
Angus

configure config/database.yml and then run rake db:migrate

Yes, the process is not entirely friendly at the moment, and probably
require some base knowledge about deploying rails apps. That said,
feel free to venture into it and ask questions as you move along.

I assume you want to run this locally for development purposes
(there's the notion of different environments in rails; test,
development & production)

run "rake db:migrate" to construct the schema

./script/server -e <environmentname> # (it defaults to development)

Projects, and repositories has a `ready` boolean column that gets set
to true whenever the task associated with it has been completed (like
creating a new repository)

Running "./script/task_performer" will run any outstanding tasks. The
actual task objects will get created automatically whenever a project,
repository or user is created.

Hope that helps, otherwise keep asking ;)
