auth: restore anonymous repository access

Dominik Ruf found that aa25ef34ebab introduced a regression in anonymous access
to repositories ... if that is enabled.

The refactoring was too strict when it missed that not all repo permission
checks require a logged in user. Read access can be granted to the default user
... but not write or admin.

Instead of the commands used in aa25ef34ebab, the following commands are used
to consistently also allow the default user in all decorators where we only need
repo read access:

# Introduce explicit allow_default_user=True - that was the default before aa25ef34ebab
sed -i 's/@LoginRequired()/@LoginRequired(allow_default_user=True)/g' `hg mani`
sed -i 's/@LoginRequired(\(..*\))/@LoginRequired(\1, allow_default_user=True)/g' `hg mani`
# The primary case: Replace @NotAnonymous with removal of allow_default_user=True
perl -0pi -e 's/\@LoginRequired\((?:(.*), )?allow_default_user=True\)\n\s*\@NotAnonymous\(\)/\@LoginRequired(\1)/g' `hg mani`
# If there is a global permission check, no anonymous is ever allowed
perl -0pi -e 's/\@LoginRequired\(allow_default_user=True\)(\n\s*\@HasPermission)/\@LoginRequired()\1/g' `hg mani`
# Repo access for write or admin also assume no default user
perl -0pi -e 's/\@LoginRequired\(allow_default_user=True\)(\n\s*\@HasRepoPermissionLevelDecorator\('"'(write|admin)'"'\))/\@LoginRequired()\1/g' `hg mani`

.. _customization:

=============
Customization
=============

There are several ways to customize Kallithea to your needs depending on what
you want to achieve.


HTML/JavaScript/CSS customization
---------------------------------

To customize the look-and-feel of the web interface (for example to add a
company banner or some JavaScript widget or to tweak the CSS style definitions)
you can enter HTML code (possibly with JavaScript and/or CSS) directly via the
*Admin > Settings > Global > HTML/JavaScript customization
block*.


Behavioral customization: rcextensions
--------------------------------------

Some behavioral customization can be done in Python using ``rcextensions``, a
custom Python package that can extend Kallithea functionality.

With ``rcextensions`` it's possible to add additional mappings for Whoosh
indexing and statistics, to add additional code into the push/pull/create/delete
repository hooks (for example to send signals to build bots such as Jenkins) and
even to monkey-patch certain parts of the Kallithea source code (for example
overwrite an entire function, change a global variable, ...).

To generate a skeleton extensions package, run::

    gearbox make-rcext -c my.ini

This will create an ``rcextensions`` package next to the specified ``ini`` file.
See the ``__init__.py`` file inside the generated ``rcextensions`` package
for more details.


Behavioral customization: code changes
--------------------------------------

As Kallithea is open-source software, you can make any changes you like directly
in the source code.

We encourage you to send generic improvements back to the
community so that Kallithea can become better. See :ref:`contributing` for more
details.
