Any git-1.6.0+ RPMs for el5?

Neal Kreitzinger· Apr 24, 2009, 22:05 UTC · lore

Are there any EL5 RPMs available for Git 1.6.0 or greater? The current EL5 repo rpm for git-1.5.5.6 is apparently relatively outdated in the git timeline. My team is new to git and to linux and are hoping to learn the newer version of git without having to first ascend the learning curve of compiling git. We are hoping that other el5 git users before us have created git 1.6.0+ rpms for their own use. Is it correct to assume that an el5 rpm created by someone else can also be installed on our RHEL 5.2+ box?

v/r, Neal

I can offer you my local builds of 1.6.1.2 for rhel5 if you're interested. These are stock as I used the .spec file as distributed with the source to do the build.

They're now available here: http://www.cquest.utoronto.ca/u/bwalton/git/
