Seriously, after Cebix has upgraded the machine to SuSE 10.2 I've only installed the git-core and git-email packages.
I'm afraid git-* packages shipped with SuSE 10.2 are way too old (according to http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/ the version is 1.4.3, but current one is 1.5.4.3)
An empty dir /srv/git/ came with that.
So what next? Try to convert CVS and set it up there?
Setting up a public repository is described in the git manual [1]. For conversion from CVS you need git-cvsimport utility (shipped with git). However, converting GiNaC CVS is a bit involved, because some very old files (install.sh,v missing,v, etc.) are broken. I propose to clone my repository (the content is almost identical to that of CVS) instead, i.e. [cd to some suitable directory] git clone --bare git://ffmssmsc.jinr.ru:443/varg/ginac.git ginac.git [start git-daemon and configure web server to enable gitweb] [1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#setting-up-...
