You no longer need to get the open tools for z/OS from Rocket Software - there is a new player in town - the z/OS Open Tools project.
You can find them at https://zosopentools.github.io/meta/#/ and they offer several different installation options from individual packages to a generalized installation tool (zopen). It's all on GitHub and they encourage participation, including via the use of the new GitHub repository Discussions option - see https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/meta/discussions. On their guild/project call last month one of the contributors mentioned the ability to request formal support (that was the extent of that discussion) in case your site requires it. For Git they are more current than Rocket (2.26.2-78) with version 2.39.2 recently posted. I have tested Git 2.39.1 and now 2.39.2 with ZIGI (see https://github.com/zigi) with no problems. As an example you'll find: Bash 5.2 Bzip2 1.0.8 Curl 3.8 Git 2.39.2 Gzip 1.12 Less 608 Pcre2 10.42 Lua 5.1.5 Lynx 2.8.9 Openssl 1.1.1s Perl 5-blead Sed 629 Sqlite 598 Vim 9.0.0846 Lionel B.
