In my gitolite.conf file I've added a bunch of config gitweb.description lines but I dont see the changes when I view gitweb. If I look in the repos on the server the description hasn't been updated.
How do I get them to sync up?

Normally, the update happens on pushing that gitolite-admin repo back to the gitolite server, through triggers.
You can manually trigger them on the server to see if that makes any difference:
gitolite trigger POST_COMPILE
Make sure the description is within a repo section:
repo myrepo
config gitweb.description = some description
Double check the content of the projects.list file, and that your GIT_HTTP_BACKEND is well set.

Hi, I've tried the `gitolite trigger POST_COMPILE` but nothing is updated. Other items are updated just fine though for example `gitweb.owner` and `gitweb.category` update when I push my gitolite-admin repo back. – Justin808 Jul 01 '13 at 21:14

@Justin808 is it possible there is some kind of typo in your git gitweb.description line? What about the syntax sugar form 'descr'? Would that work better? And what version of gitolite are you using? – VonC Jul 02 '13 at 03:49
