...and the people rejoiced. Now everybody can get a piece of gnupod by running
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/gnupod.git This creates a gnupod sub directory with the current bleeding edge development version of gnupod. One more autoconf configure make install and you've got it installed. Please uninstall a previous version of gnupod if you installed it from your distribution's packet management system (in Ubuntu and Debian the packet is called "gnupod-tools") as the paths for installing perl modules might differ and you may end up with two installed versions of some gnupod modules and executables. An now some more details for the curious: In that gnupod directory will be a ".git" subdirectory with the complete gnupod history (every revision, every patch, every tag, everything.) so every lookup of past versions and diffs will happen locally. No need for connectivity, NO latency! Instead of explaining it all wrong here's the synopsis of git-clone Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository (visible using git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch equal to the cloned repository´s currently active branch. After the clone, a plain git fetch without arguments will update all the remote-tracking branches, and a git pull without arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the current master branch, if any. This default configuration is achieved by creating references to the remote branch heads under $GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin and by initializing remote.origin.url and remote.origin.fetch configuration variables. For beginners a gui is always nice to get a feeling gitk or qgit There's tons of good git tutoruials and migration guides for people who are familiare with other version control systemss so I'll only recommend reading the man pages git-tutorial and git-workflows: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitworkflows.html cheers -henrik _______________________________________________ Bug-gnupod mailing list Bug-gnupod@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnupod
