It depends on a few of external libraries (and software packages) -- check it out yourself at [1]. It should be noted though that this list is not fixed. IIUC the only hard dependency is zlib and all the other stuff is optional. SSH transport is implemented by calling an OpenSSH (or compatible) client program, so this is a soft dependency. Note that in your case you will need to have Perl 5.8+ because it's used by the git-svn implementation, and that will use the Perl bindings for Subversion (which, in turn, depend on both Perl and libsvn). You'll need to have that stuff available and installed as well. > Should I go that route? > Or should I try and find all the rpm's required? It's hard to tell. RH 5.5 appears to be really really old so it's unlikely you'll find official RPMs for recent Git versions. You might try to look them up in unofficial 3rd-party repos maintained by those who need to support outdated systems. This might get further complicated by the fact you appear to have non-standard Subversion package (too fresh for RH 5.5 IMO). Failing that, I'd have a VM running RH 5.5 and tried to build a set of RPMs against the software packages you have deployed on the target system. The RPM specs can be grabbed from any up-to-date Redhatoid system and backported. 1. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
