In no particular order: * As of a week or so ago, we're _finally_ running a still-currently-supported version. (3.1.x)
* As of today, GitLab authentication _finally_ works! So currently,
generic OpenID, Google, GitHub, and GitLab can all be used.
* The SSH host key used by gerrit is _very_ old, and modern openssh
doesn't want to work with it by default. I'm intending to migrate to
a new new host key, but until I do, you'll need to add this to your
~/.ssh/config :
host gerrit.rockbox.org
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes ssh-rsa
* You can associate multiple external authentication hooks with a
single gerrit account, by logging into one, and (in theory) going to
your settings and clicking on "add another identity". I say "in
theory" because there is actually a bug [1] in upstream gerrit that
prevents this from showing up. Until upstream fixes this problem, to
associate another external ID with your account, hit this URL when
you're logged in:
https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/login/?link
* Some time ago, google dropped its use of openid, moving purely to
OAUTH.. Unfortunately there isn't really a way for gerrit to map
google oauth credentials back to legacy openid credentials,
potentially leading to..
* If you try to log into gerrit and you get a single-word "Forbidden"
response then there is already a gerrit account associated with the
email address returned by the OpenID/OAUTH credentials you tried to
use. Please use different credentials, and/or contact me directly
(email or irc) and I'll see what I can do to un-wedge things.
* I spent some time today cleaning up the 30-odd places where the same
email address was associated with more than one account. In the
process I marked a bunch of duplicated accounts as inactive and moved
associated credentials to a single one.
I think that should do it. As always, holler if something goes awry.
