There are build scripts for recent versions of CentOS- and Debian-flavored
Linuxes in ../scripts/{centos,debian}-build. Both install all prerequisites,
then build the client and the man pages in Docker containers for CentOS 7,
Debian 8, and Ubuntu 14.04.
On CentOS 6, the client builds, but not the man pages, because of problems getting the right version of Ruby.
Earlier versions of CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu have trouble building go, so they are non-starters.
A debian package can be built by running dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc from the
root of the repo. It is currently confirmed to work on Debian jessie and
wheezy. On wheezy it requires wheezy-backports versions of dh-golang,
git, and golang.
An rpm package can be built by running ./rpm/build_rpms.bsh. All
dependencies will be downloaded, compiled, and installed for you, provided
you have sudo/root permissions. The resulting ./rpm/RPMS/x86_64/git-lfs*.rpm
Can be installed using yum install or distributed.
- CentOS 7 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You only need the git-lfs rpm
- CentOS 6 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You will need to distribute both the git-lfs rpms and the git rpms, as CentOS 6 does not have a current enough version available
- CentOS 5 - build_rpms.bsh will take care of everything. You only need the git-lfs rpm. When distributing to CentOS 5, they will need git from the epel repo
yum install epel-release
yum install git
See ./rpm/INSTALL.md for more detail
