Tarball settings

Fisheye contains a feature that will build an archive of a directory tree. This feature is disabled by default. The 'Tarball Settings' repository option allows you to customize tarball settings in the Repository Defaults and on a per-repository basis. You can set a limit on the number of files that a tarball can contain, as well as selectively disable the creation of tarballs for certain directories or directory trees.

On this page:

Configure tarball settings for a specific repository

  1. Click the 'cog' menu in the Fisheye header, and choose Administration (you'll need to be logged in as an administrator to see this link).
  2. Click Repositories, then the name of the repository (in the 'Name' column). 
  3. Click Tarballs in the left-hand panel.
  4. Check Allow users to download repository trees as tarballs, if you want to allow users to do this. Allow an unlimited number of files, or set a maximum number with No more than <number> files.
  5. Configure tarball excludes to prevent tarball creation for specified directories or directory trees:
    • To add a new tarball exclude, click Add, and then enter a Base Directory. Specify Exclude subdirectories as required.
    • To edit the exclude pattern, click the cog icon () for a tarball exclude and choose Edit. See Adding a Tarball Exclude below for further instructions.
    • To delete an exclude, click the cog icon () for a tarball exclude and choose Delete.
  6. Save your changes.
