4 This bash script builds, tests and installs the newest version of Git,
5 fetched from the master branch in the Git repository. Git is installed
6 under `/usr/local/varprg/`_version_ by default, and creates symlinks in
7 `/usr/local/prg/`, `/usr/local/bin/` and `/usr/local/share/man/` to the
8 installed version. This makes it easy to revert to another version for
9 testing. These defaults can be changed by changing variables in the
10 beginning of the script. Written with paranoia in mind and aborts on
16 The script uses the default `Makefile`, and needs the following packages
17 (Ubuntu/Debian, other distros may vary):
32 - Package: `libcurl4-openssl-dev`
35 - Package: `libexpat1-dev`
40 - DocBook conversion utility
41 - Package: `docbook2x`
43 - XML-to-any converter
47 - Package: `libssl-dev`
50 ### Not essential, but nice to have
52 - Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11
53 - Necessary to run gitk(1)
57 - Necessary for use with git-svn
58 - Package: `subversion`
59 - Package: `libsvn-perl`
63 apt-get install autoconf asciidoc docbook2x gcc gettext libcurl4-openssl-dev \
