Re: Git For Maemo
 

Belated thanks for that...

However, it seems this package has not been "optified" : apt-get pulled in something like 7MB, and afterwards my free rootfs was down by a similar amount.

Did you have the same experience ?

Re: Git For Maemo
 

Yes, but it took seconds to move /usr/lib/git-core over to /opt/git-core and make a symlink. The remaining 800 KB /usr/bin/git didn't bother me enough to move.

(my thanks also!)

Re: Git For Maemo
 

Thanks, I'll try that. I guess it could only be a problem if you try to uninstall it someday after forgetting all about it ? :-)

Re: Git For Maemo
 

have build it for harmattan too ?
I can try to help if you tell me where should i get current version ? :)

Re: Git For Maemo
 

Any chance of the other "git" package being removed? It doesn't work, and it's misleading (anyone trying to use git, will end up here).

Re: Git For Maemo
 

Is git still available for Maemo 5? I'm unable to find it, even in extras-devel. :(

Edit: Just like you said, it's in extras-devel:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ee/g/git-core/

I'll have to figure out why my phone isn't syncing with the repo correctly. :P

Re: Git For Maemo
 

I'm kinda stuck

I'm using fremantle 1.3
n900
maemo 5
Version: 20.2010.36-2

I've tried sudo apt-get install git-core

it replies: "Couldn't find package git-core"

I've also tried downloading git-core from these repos
/extras-devel/pool/fremantle-1.3/free/g/git/
and
/extras-devel/pool/fremantle-1.3/free/g/git-core/
and when I try to install it says:

"Unable to install "git-core"
Incompatiable application package"

What am I doing wrong? I'm stuck! :(

Re: Git For Maemo
 

I got it working!

For anyone with the same problems, here is how I did it running fremantle 1.3.

It's probably not necessary but I did a factory reset of the phone.

I installed rootsh and leafpad through app manager.
Open X terminal and type sudo gainroot.
when getting root type: "cd /etc/apt/"
type "leafpad sources.list"
leafpad will open and sources.list will by default be blank.
in the opened document type in: "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free"
make sure you don't write a capital D as in "Deb". It should say "deb"
save the file
go to x terminal again and as root type: "apt-get update"
let it update and it should take a minute or two.
after that type in: "apt-get install git-core"

That should do the trick :)
