Git 1.5 for Feisty

[imog]

What options did you guys used on the make process. And could you post your last lines of errors on the make install? maybe you need to do a sudo make install or something.

The previous user pretty much entered everything, but here is an all inclusive quote of what I did:

Pay no attention to the swipe finger portion, I have biometrics enabled on my T60 and the results are the same whether the biometrics are on or off. Note that the above did not leave me with a succesful install. I'll keep looking into it, the biometrics were a pain, but I'm hoping this won't be as bad,

Hi.

I just tried it myself and it seems to work. I'm on x86_64.

$ tar xzvf git-1.5.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd git-1.5.2.1/
$ sudo apt-get install checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get build-dep git-core
$ sudo checkinstall -D
  # or make && make install, if you don't like checkinstall

Looks like git is updated for Gutsy. The problem is the dependency on a newer version of libc6.

I tried the instructions in the last post but when I try:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep git-core

it complains I don't have some repository (without saying which one). Does anyone know which one it is?

Thanks.

Helder

[jackbravo]

Looks like it did installed git, just on your /home/name/bin dir instead of on /usr/local.

Maybe all you need to do is add your home bin directory to the PATH.
If you want to install git on /usr/local you need to specify it on the configure command via: --prefix=/usr/local
and then do a > make && sudo make install.

as for what repositories does git need.... Well, I'm not sure, I have universe, multiverse, and everything =P.
Good luck.

[Roderik]

FYI I did the following

apt-get build-dep git-core
apt-get install libssl-dev
vim Makefile // to change the prefix to /usr/local
make
make install

And it worked.

[heldr]

Ok, so here's what sort of brute-forcedly worked for me:

Added a "deb-src" for each "deb" in /etc/apt/sources.list and then did:

apt-get build-dep git-core
apt-get install libssl-dev
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

It didn't work without doing the ./configure first.

I installed git, and tried all methods u guys mentioned. but when i try the following line, this happened:
cyan@cyan-working-machine:~$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/proto/glproto

git, the filemanager with GNU Interactive Tools, is now called gitfm.

If you are looking for git, Linus Torvald's content tracker, install
the cogito and git-core packages and see README.Debian and git(7).

This transition script will be removed in the debian stable
release after etch.

If you wish to complete the transition early, install git-core
and use (as root):
update-alternatives --config git

Press RETURN to run gitfm

and nothing happened.......umm...don't know what to do now....
any help?

[jackbravo]

so when you typed:

> sudo update-alternatives --config git

did you pressed "2" to select git-scm. That's what you need to do. scm means source control manager I believe =P. And right now ubuntu executes GNU Interactive Tools (git) when you run git, instead of git the source control manager.

[chrono325]

In case anyone is interested, the easiest way for me to accomplish the task was to install Prevu and backport the Gutsy version of git.

For those interested, I have set up a repository here.
