Belated thanks for that...

However, it seems this package has not been "optified" : apt-get pulled in something like 7MB, and afterwards my free rootfs was down by a similar amount.

Did you have the same experience ?

Yes, but it took seconds to move /usr/lib/git-core over to /opt/git-core and make a symlink. The remaining 800 KB /usr/bin/git didn't bother me enough to move.

(my thanks also!)

Thanks, I'll try that. I guess it could only be a problem if you try to uninstall it someday after forgetting all about it ? :-)

Any chance of the other "git" package being removed? It doesn't work, and it's misleading (anyone trying to use git, will end up here).

Is git still available for Maemo 5? I'm unable to find it, even in extras-devel.

Edit: Just like you said, it's in extras-devel:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...ee/g/git-core/

I'll have to figure out why my phone isn't syncing with the repo correctly. :P

I'm kinda stuck

I'm using fremantle 1.3
n900
maemo 5
Version: 20.2010.36-2

I've tried sudo apt-get install git-core

it replies: "Couldn't find package git-core"

I've also tried downloading git-core from these repos
/extras-devel/pool/fremantle-1.3/free/g/git/
and
/extras-devel/pool/fremantle-1.3/free/g/git-core/
and when I try to install it says:

"Unable to install "git-core"
Incompatiable application package"

What am I doing wrong? I'm stuck!

I got it working!

For anyone with the same problems, here is how I did it running fremantle 1.3.

It's probably not necessary but I did a factory reset of the phone.

I installed rootsh and leafpad through app manager.
Open X terminal and type sudo gainroot.
when getting root type: "cd /etc/apt/"
type "leafpad sources.list"
leafpad will open and sources.list will by default be blank.
in the opened document type in: "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/ fremantle-1.3 free non-free"
make sure you don't write a capital D as in "Deb". It should say "deb"
save the file
go to x terminal again and as root type: "apt-get update"
let it update and it should take a minute or two.
after that type in: "apt-get install git-core"

That should do the trick
