Hi raikrishna. The git-packagers list is a rather small list so perhaps someone on the general git list (CC'd) knows the answer to this. I'm not aware of anyone providing binary git packages for AIX, but I don't use it so maybe they exist. The last mention on the mailing list I could find of someone packaging it was this from Michael Felt's (CC'd) https://public-inbox.org/git/CANvxniXkbAKgjm+NZ0cyyCToEYp23Kd8s4yxSqUOsAUAHJSA7g@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ The last AIX-related patch to git is actually mine, but I haven't logged into an AIX box in over a decade, see https://github.com/chef/omnibus-software/commit/e247e36761#diff-3df898345d670979b74acc0bf71d8c47 So it looks like there's a chef build recipe for it, maybe that's something you can use? I would not be surprised if building git on AIX, particularly with a non-GNU toolchain, fails in all sorts of interesting ways. People here on the list would be happy to help you work through those failures, we're keen to port git to whatever we can get our hands on, but these platforms experience quite a bit of bitrot.
