SparkleShare Dashboard

Today I wanted to install SparkleShare-Dashboard on my Linux Laptop. I was pretty glad, since it is a nodejs application and the target plattform, where I would like to install this application finally, will be a nodejs system (ArchLinux ARM) as well.

To install SparkleShare Dashboard on the latest nodejs-Version (v0.8.4) I had to adopt the Git-Child-Process creation in the backend/git.js-Module. For the full working version, please see my github account.

There is also a little "difficulty" and probably a miss-understanding in the community of how to create a "SparkleShare-Git-Repository". I have done it, therefore please find a step-by-step guide:

mkdir -p /home/USERNAME/sparkle/public.git
cd /home/USERNAME/sparkle/public.git
git init --bare
mkdir /home/USERNAME/tmp
cd /tmp
git clone file:///home/USERNAME/sparkle/public.git
cd /tmp/public
touch README.txt
git add README.txt
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push origin master
cd ..
rm /tmp/public -rf

This should be it, you do have an initial commit in the repository, and therefor SparkleShare can attach the id to the repository (the id is the SHA1-id of the first commit in the repository).
