Git

[richt]

Has anybody tried installing git on a ReadyNAS or know if this is possible?

Thanks.

When I saw the topic title I thought you were telling someone off...

What on earth is Git?

Yes, sir

From browsing forum I don't remember I saw anything about git before.
I never needed such software, so can't help you, sorry

I love to see git on ReadyNas. I think it's far superior then cvs or subversion.

svn is available as addon in dev section

1) Install the APT add-on from the addons page at http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=93
2) Add sarge-backports to your sources.list. That basically means to paste this line at the end of the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main

3) apt-get update
4) apt-get install git-core

You're done!

...now does anyone want to figure out how to get Gitosis installed? There are good directions (and a .deb) at http://vafer.org/blog/20080115011413, but the deb has dependencies that aren't in the sarge or sarge-backports trees.

That sarge directory doesn't seem to be there any more. Is there a new URL?

I've used the following to build Git from source on a Duo; as of yet I haven't done that much testing and there were some warnings during the build about a potential conflict between versions of the libcrypto library used by curl ... so use with caution.

First SSH onto the NAS and set up a development environment as per http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=14903
Basically:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install gdb
sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev


Now ensure additional packages required by the build are on your NAS:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install expat
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev
sudo apt-get install zlib
sudo apt-get install openssl
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-dev


Seems that the Perl install on the NAS has had a few things removed so we reinstall Perl:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --reinstall install perl
sudo apt-get --reinstall install perl-modules


Obtain GIT source and unpack to /usr/src:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src
sudo wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.2.3.tar.bz2
sudo tar -xvjpf git-1.6.2.3.tar.bz2


Build and install GIT (this takes awhile):

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/git-1.6.2.3
sudo make prefix=/usr install


At this point you should have a built version of git in /usr/bin.

At some point you may want to clean up to save space:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get clean
cd /usr/src/git-1.6.2.3
sudo make clean


You may even want to zip or remove the code under /usr/src/git-1.6.2.3

NOTE: you still have to set up the git-daemon to run via inetd

Etch-backports and Lenny-backports have replaced Sarge-backports, however, there is a conflict with the installed packages on the NV with what git-core wants on my NV, running the 4.1.5-T74 firmware, so it doesn't install.

So compiling from source might be your best option of getting this to work..

[Raz0rEdge]

In reply to myself, I found another repo that has the Sarge-backports files needed to get get GIT running. The version of GIT is 1.5.4.1 which isn't too old..

Ensure that your /etc/apt/sources.list contains:

deb http://www.readynas.com/packages readynas/
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/backports.org sarge-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/backports.org sarge-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

Then;

1. apt-get update
2. apt-get install git-core
3. apt-get clean

Anyone know if Git has log file that I need to be careful about?
