Git RPM dependancies seem broken

[wrender]

I noticed the rpm version of Git is included. Thanks! but I get the following error when trying to install.

yum install git

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Do you have perl* in your /etc/yum.conf exclude list ?

If you run cPanel on your server then it is supposed to be there and it is normal that you can install perl/perl-Git

I suggest that you install git from source as (presuming again that you do have cPanel) it should work fine :

Dependencies :

yum install gettext-devel expat-devel curl-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel

Get URL for latest version of Git :

http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

cd /usr/local/src

wget PUT_GIT_URL_HERE

tar xvzf git-*.tar.gz
cd git*
make prefix=/usr/local all
make prefix=/usr/local install

I really appreciate the help. Would you also know what cloud linux cagefs configuration would be needed to properly make Git available to the end users?

I may be missing these dependencies so I will try re-installing the latest version from source this way. One thing I also notice for the source version is there is no "make uninstall" available, so installing the source is a bit scary since you cant easily uninstall it.

On another note, I also posted in the cPanel forums, but someone recommends not installing Git on cPanel servers. This seems very odd to me though as so many web applications are starting to use it. http://forums.cpanel.net/f391/instal...it-294411.html

I was able to re-install git from here. http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list The versions you posted at Kernel.org seemed outdated and last modified in 2005.

For cagefs support for Git. I created a file called /etc/cagefs/conf.d/git.cfg and added the following:

[git]

comment=Git tools

paths=/usr/local/bin/git, /usr/local/share/git-core

I then ran the "/usr/sbin/cagefsctl --update" command.

Git appears to be working properly when I run it under the root account, but when I run it in the cagefs environment it gives me the following error. I am running the "git clone" command.

 -bash-4.1$ git clone http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/semperit/1289724.git civicrm_cdntaxreceipts

Cloning into civicrm_cdntaxreceipts...

fatal: Unable to find remote helper for http

Something makes me think I am missing some libcurl or libcurl-devel directories in the cagefs filesystem. If you google this error, people normally resolve it by installing the libcurl-devel rpm. I believe Git uses the curl program to pull in information via http.

Sorry about the link… I copy/pasted the link from an old install procedure I had on my computer…

If you contact Cloudlinux support for this I would also be interested to know what was missing as I will be installing cagefs soon too !

Hi there,

yum install yum-utils
yumdownloader git
rpm -i git-downloaded.package --force --nodeps

Use it at your own risk

However I think the best option is compilation in cpanel servers

Cpanel says in next versions will use rpms so this awfully old problem will be solved in maybe 2 years

I think Wesley has got it installed and functionning outside cagefs and is looking for help to get it working inside cagefs.

This is just a guess is /usr/bin/curl accessible from within cagefs ?

From inside a cage see if curl -V returns anything…

[wrender]

Git is working outside of cagefs, but not in cagefs.

Yes. Curl does seem to work inside cagefs. I just tested downloading a file. Ill try contacting support.

Cloud Linux support was able to resolve it by helping define the cfg file. Here is the cagefs cfg file which is working:

[git]
