I tried installing Git on F10 and got the following :-

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh git-1.6.2.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-Git = 1.6.2.1-1.fc9 is needed by git-1.6.2.1-1.fc9.i386
        git = 1.6.0.6-3.fc10 is needed by (installed) 
perl-Git-1.6.0.6-3.fc10.i386
        git = 1.6.0.6-3.fc10 is needed by (installed) 
git-svn-1.6.0.6-3.fc10.i386
        git = 1.6.0.6-3.fc10 is needed by (installed) 
git-daemon-1.6.0.6-3.fc10.i386
        git = 1.6.0.6-3.fc10 is needed by (installed) 
gitweb-1.6.0.6-3.fc10.i386


Can I install from source I could only find F9 SRPMS.

What I am really after knowing is gitweb on the latest version 1.6.2.1 
anything like the nice HTML layout on http://git.kernel.org/ or do I have to 
do the html formatting myself in the perl code ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

If your on Fedora 10 to get gitweb installed all you should have to do is:

yum install gitweb

and you will be off and running.

The gitweb included in the 1.6.0.6 packages for F-10 should look
mostly the same as the gitweb used on kernel.org.  As JH mentioned,
you can install that with 'yum install gitweb'.  If you need to modify
them, the options and css should let you do what you need without
editing the perl script.

If you do want to use 1.6.2.1, the rawhide packages should rebuild for
F-10 just fine (do note that the rawhide packages finally caught up
and moved the git-* binaries out of $PATH, something that isn't done
in the stock F-10 packages).

The fedora rawhide git packages are at:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/development/source/SRPMS/git-1.6.2-1.fc11.src.rpm

Got it :-

    http://www.somegitserver.com/git/gitweb.cgi

This should work straight out of the bag with Fedora.
