2008-06-15The "curl" executable is no longer requiredLibravatar Johan Herland1-4/+4
git-clone.sh was the last user of the "curl" executable. Relevant git commands now use libcurl instead. This should be reflected in the install requirements. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-17Update INSTALLLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+3
We haven't used bignum in rev-list from openssl nor elsewhere for a long time. Also git-gui is now part of git.git itself, and depends on wish. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-01-12use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and toolsLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-12-12Get rid of the dependency on RCS' merge programLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-9/+0
Now that we have git-merge-file, an RCS merge lookalike, we no longer need it. So long, merge, and thanks for all the fish! Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-09-29Remove -fPIC which was only needed for Git.xsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The distinction between BASIC_ vs ALL_ is still kept, since it is not Git.xs specific -- we could face the same issue when we do other language bindings (e.g. Python). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-07-03Use $GITPERLLIB instead of $RUNNING_GIT_TESTS and centralize @INC mungingLibravatar Petr Baudis1-2/+2
This makes the Git perl scripts check $GITPERLLIB instead of $RUNNING_GIT_TESTS, which makes more sense if you are setting up your shell environment to use a non-installed Git instance. It also weeds out the @INC munging from the individual scripts and makes Makefile add it during the .perl files processing, so that we can change just a single place when we modify this shared logic. It looks ugly in the scripts, too. ;-) And instead of doing arcane things with the @INC array, we just do 'use lib' instead, which is essentialy the same thing anyway. I first want to do three separate patches but it turned out that it's quite a lot neater when bundled together, so I hope it's ok.

2006-07-02autoconf: Use autoconf to write installation directories to config.mak.autogenLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-0/+9
This is beginning of patch series introducing installation configuration using autoconf (and no other autotools) to git. The idea is to generate config.mak.autogen using ./configure (generated from configure.ac by running autoconf) from config.mak.in, so one can use autoconf as an _alternative_ to ordinary Makefile, and creating one's own config.mak. Local settings in config.mak override generated settings in config.mak.autogen This patch includes minimal configure.ac and config.mak.in, so one can set installation directories using autoconf generated ./configure script e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr Signed-off-by: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-21Retire git-clone-packLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The program is not used by git-clone since git-fetch-pack was extended to allow its caller do what git-clone-pack alone did, and git-clone was updated to use it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-01Rip out merge-order and make "git log <paths>..." work again.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+1
Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of the other ones) that makes git log <filename> actually work, as far as I can tell. I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be pretty trivial, and is independent of this anyway. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-21Mention install-doc in INSTALLLibravatar J. Bruce Fields1-2/+26
I think most people will want to install the man pages as well. [jc: incorporated Pasky's comment on not building them as root. Some people may not want to install asciidoc/xmlto toolchain, so redirect them to the man and html branches of the git.git repository as well.] Signed-off-by: J.

2005-12-05[PATCH] Document config.mak in INSTALL.Libravatar Jason Riedy1-0/+3
The existing config.mak should satisfy almost everyone... You can change the prefix and other vars catch the new setting anyways.

2005-09-12[PATCH] There are several undocumented dependenciesLibravatar Horst von Brand1-0/+5
There are several undocumented dependencies in the .spec and in the INSTALL files. The following is from Fedora, perhaps other RPM distributions call the packages differently. Also, the manpages aren't always installed gzipped. Updates to git-core.spec.in file: - Some git scripts use Perl - gitk needs wish, which is part of TCL/Tk. - curl is used all over - Need the ssh program from openssh-clients Updates to INSTALL: - Mention wish - Mention ssh Signed-off-by: Horst H. von Brand <vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl>
2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.

Jens was the second person who hadn't heard of the "merge" program, and didn't have it installed. So document as many dependency and install issues as I can think of.
