1. OpenSUSE 11.0's yast2 does not have "ignore dependency" anymore in the gui, which makes installing git from the GIT RPMS to fail as it seems to depend on openssh-clients, a package that has been deprecated in SUSE, and is not available anymore
In 10.3 you could still go on after "ignore this dependency locally", and all worked fine.
So now I have to build from source, or download the rpm and look up the flags to rpm to make --no-deps work. That feels dirty, so I rather build
Builds fine. Now 'make test', which I often mistype as 'make check' because the GNU folk refuse to add 'make test' as an alias for 'make check' and switching between all the sourse distributions that do it right (perl, git, ...) and those that do it wrong (GNU) I often type the wrong one
git-1.6.0.4 112 > make check for i in *.c; do sparse -g -O2 -Wall -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>' -DNO_STRLCPY -D__BIG_ENDIAN__ -D__powerpc__ $i || exit; done /bin/sh: sparse: command not found make: *** [check] Error 127
Maybe the Makefile could be a little more user-friendly with a message like
"Cannot run 'make check', as you do not have 'sparse' installed. Did you mean to run 'make test' instead?"
FYI '/bin/sh' ./aggregate-results.sh test-results/t*-* fixed 1 success 3726 failed 0 broken 2 total 3729 rm -f -r 'trash directory' test-results
