Just wanted to mention that, while gitolite before v1.3
would have been hard to package due to its somewhat unusual
installation method, since v1.3 it has also had a very
simple way to package it for a distro. It's all documented
in doc/0-INSTALL.mkd, in the last section.
Feel free to let me know if you encounter any issues or need
help. The number of people I have seen at various times
asking for a deb pkg on #git is high enough that I am
seriously interested in this happening, and really want to
help.
