Here's my advice: 1. Breathe in, breathe out. 2. Look at the INSTALL file, section beginning "To build and install documentation suite". Among other things, it describes how to retrieve pre-formatted documentation from the git.git repository itself. So you can try: git clone git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git cd git make quick-install-doc after installing git, which should be relatively painless. 3. Look at gitweb/INSTALL. The moment something seems unclear, note that, so we can come up with a patch to make it clearer for the next person. [...] > I then > 'make install-doc' again and get an 'nbsp' not defined error. I suspect you do not have docbook XSL installed completely. Given a more specific error message, maybe someone on this list could help. > Also, is there anywhere I can get better documentation on installing > gitweb and gitosis running properly? I've never tried gitosis, but some gitosis users were very active on #git when I last visited. Maybe they could help? The usual advice applies here, too: where the README is unclear, please do let Tommi Virtanen know. After an aha moment this might a good way to make sure you are really on the right. Hope that helps, Jonathan
