There are rpms for git 1.8 in EPEL. git-all is probably overkill, but you'll need at least git, perl-Git, perl-Git-SVN and perl-Error. > Does the tarball contain all dependencies already? Should I go that > route? Or should I try and find all the rpm's required? The source tarball of git contains no dependencies. Also be aware that building git from source requires even more dependencies. D. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Red hat actually ships a version of git with RHEL 6. So the version will be different (I believe it's a 1.7.something). The dependencies should be similar, if not the same. > On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 1:53 PM, Dennis Kaarsemaker > <dennis@kaarsemaker.net> wrote: > > > > On di, 2016-07-05 at 07:45 -0400, Kevin Paxton wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I’m looking to install git on a separate network that is running > > > Redhat 5.5. > > That's ancient and unsupported.

At $DAYJOB, we build and ship Git with our software, which runs on RHEL 6 and 7. I'd have to check to be certain, but I'm pretty sure the dependencies for core Git are the same as Red Hat's version. We choose to compile with PCRE because it enables git grep -P, which we use in development. If you want git-svn, you'll of course need subversion. In case you do move back to RHEL 5 (which I don't recommend), be aware that the libcurl version is old enough that some features (DAV is one, if I remember correctly) don't work. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | https://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204 [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 836 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

It depends on a few of external libraries (and software packages) -- check it out yourself at [1]. It should be noted though that this list is not fixed. IIUC the only hard dependency is zlib and all the other stuff is optional. SSH transport is implemented by calling an OpenSSH (or compatible) client program, so this is a soft dependency. Note that in your case you will need to have Perl 5.8+ because it's used by the git-svn implementation, and that will use the Perl bindings for Subversion (which, in turn, depend on both Perl and libsvn). You'll need to have that stuff available and installed as well. > Should I go that route? > Or should I try and find all the rpm's required? It's hard to tell. RH 5.5 appears to be really really old so it's unlikely you'll find official RPMs for recent Git versions. You might try to look them up in unofficial 3rd-party repos maintained by those who need to support outdated systems. This might get further complicated by the fact you appear to have non-standard Subversion package (too fresh for RH 5.5 IMO). Failing that, I'd have a VM running RH 5.5 and tried to build a set of RPMs against the software packages you have deployed on the target system. The RPM specs can be grabbed from any up-to-date Redhatoid system and backported. 1. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
