Download tarballs from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=139897 Or directly from git repositories git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit.git (qgit-1.5.8) git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4.git (qgit-2.1) Stable qgit-1.5.8 has only maintenance fixes, not a lot indeed, it happens to be already very stable. New stuff is in qgit-2.1, you can find a detailed changelog at http://git.kernel.org/?p=qgit/qgit.git;a=shortlog After popular request, this time I have packaged qgit-2.1 in a nice Windows installer (Inno Setup based) downloadable from the above sourceforge link, so that our Window's friends can try qgit without worrying about compilers, Qt libraries and other geeky things ;-) Window installer will ask you to locate the msysgit directory. Indeed msysgit is the only supported git distribution under Windows, because Cygwin has some issues and is also muuuch slower. So the only prerequisite is to have already installed msysgit (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/) Happy new year 2008 !

Is it possible to compile Qt4 app all statically linked and run it on a Qt3 based KDE machine. Some thing like the windows installation, where every thing is self-contained?

Some thing like the windows installation, where every thing is self-contained? > It's also very practical...I have _only_ KDE 3 installed, not KDE 4 ;-) I have both Qt4 and Qt3 development (shared) libraries installed and there is absolutely no compatibility problem, the only thing you have to remember is when running qmake qgit.pro the first time, you need to be sure is the Qt4 qmake, not the Qt3. Because I have Qt3 qmake in path, not the Qt4 one, I need to explicitly give the whole path the first time I configure the sources, something like /usr/lib/qt4/bin/qmake qgit.pro Then no other settings are needed, when you call make, the Makefiles are already built by qmake to search for the correct libraries. Hope this helps...

It works. We use it a lot here. When the guys make a mess, and you need to figure what happened than qgit is your only friend. I intend to hack some extra stuff that we need often.

Hacking on qgit spans from very easy to nasty, according to what you hack, in case, please, don't hesitate to write me for some hints or API clarifications. Thanks Marco ```
