GIT 1.5.4.2 installation on Solaris 8 problems

[Derek]

I get the following error after make install:

install: git-fetch-pack was not found anywhere!
make: *** [install] Error 2

Any ideas?

If you don't need that version specifically, have a look at:

http://opencsw.org/packages/git

It might save you some time.

Ok, I can't help then.  We have archival versions of older git
packages, but the first version I published was 1.6.0.5.

If you're willing to install the dependency packages, you could build
your own version using the recipe stored in our GAR[1] repository:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/browser/csw/mgar/pkg/git/trunk/Makefile

May help, may not.

Using svn is really painful, btw.  I didn't think of the irony of
these links when hitting send.

I didn't see anywhere on that page that says git version 1.5.4.2
specifically must be used.  Did I miss it? or is it possible that a more
recent version of git would be compatible with that backup system?

The latest release is v1.6.5.3
