I don't mind either way, but it would be useful to know whether distributors should make their own or just wait. Thanks, Jonathan ``` ## Thomas Jarosch, 2011-12-19 09:41 Subject: Re: git 1.7.7.5 Message-ID: <201112191041.07629.thomas.jarosch@intra2net.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201112191041.07629.thomas.jarosch%40intra2net.com In-Reply-To: <20111216105757.GA11174@elie.hsd1.il.comcast.net> ``` On Friday, 16.

Looks like a bug, the front page of "git-scm.com" also shows 1.7.7.5 as latest stable release and leads to a dead link.

There actually is no bug; I just haven't got around to generating signed tarballs yet. I tend to agree that after 1.7.8 was released, showing 1.7.7.5 as the latest stable indeed a bug (1.7.8 is still the latest stable and the next latest stable will be 1.7.8.1), but that site is not under my direct control, so... ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2011-12-20 00:03 Subject: Re: git 1.7.7.5 Message-ID: <7viplckt2m.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7viplckt2m.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <20111216105757.GA11174@elie.hsd1.il.comcast.net> ``` Jonathan Nieder writes: > I noticed that v1.7.7.5 was tagged a few days ago (b36dcd72), but > there is no corresponding tarball at > > http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list > > Will there be an official tarball? > > I don't mind either way, but it would be useful to know whether > distributors should make their own or just wait. I personally would prefer distros to get stuff from the tagged release point directly from SCM themselves, instead of using tarballs, but anyway I've uploaded both 1.7.7.5 and 1.7.6.5 tarballs. Thanks. ``` ## Thomas Jarosch, 2011-12-21 17:20 Subject: Re: git 1.7.7.5 Message-ID: <201112211820.45447.thomas.jarosch@intra2net.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201112211820.45447.thomas.jarosch%40intra2net.com In-Reply-To: <7viplckt2m.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` On Tuesday, 20.

May be Scott Chacon can provide you commit access to git-scm.com ;) If you are interested in this of course. For example wikipedia lists git-scm.com as website for git.

They volunteered to keep the site up to date and useful to the user community and they have been doing a good job at it, and that is why we advertise git-scm.com as the official site. A minor bug like this which I know they are perfectly capable of fixing at their site is not a justifiable incident to trigger taking control and credit over from them. ```
