I just went through the process of upgrading gogs 0.9.97 to gitea 1.0.0. Since I used the RPM to install gogs I needed to modify several things to get things working.

I started following this guide, but soon realized all you need from there is:

cp -r gitea-v1.0.0/options /opt/gogs/options

Interestingly enough that guide does not tell you to install the gitea binary, which I installed as /opt/gogs/gitea-1.0.0-linux-amd64

The only real problem is that the gitea binary is linked against glibc 2.14:

$ ./gitea-1.0.0-linux-amd64 web
./gitea-1.0.0-linux-amd64: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./gitea)

The solution for this is to install glibc 2.14 in /opt.

To load the new libc I created a new script /opt/gogs/gogs (replaces the old gogs binary):

#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib /opt/gogs/gitea-1.0.0-linux-amd64 "$@"

I linked this file to /opt/gogs/gitea because gitea writes this path in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

ln -s /opt/gogs/gogs /opt/gogs/gitea

After this gitea is a true drop-in replacement for gogs. Perhaps this above can be documented somewhere.

For 1.1.0 we will provide binaries without the glibc requirement. Beside that we still want to provide proper rpms for the major distros and this will also resolve this issue

So we need a document update to close this issue?

@lunny at least we should add a note to the docs for now

I modified my solution slightly because after gitea rebuilds /home/gogs/.ssh/authorized_keys it puts /opt/gogs/gitea in there. So this needs to be a wrapper script as well.

The nightly builds still require glibc-2.14.

Of course, because the issue is not resolved yet.

The upcoming release 1.1.0 won't depend on glibc anymore because of https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/985
