git/INSTALL, branch v1.6.3

Add support for a pdf version of the user manual

2008-12-11T03:17:43Z

Use dblatex in order to create a pdf version of the git user manual. No existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to explicitly say make pdf sudo make install-pdf to get user-manual.pdf created and installed. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

separate build targets for man and html documentation

2008-09-10T22:41:51Z

This introduces new build targets "man" and "html" which allow building the documentation in the respective formats separately. This helps people with a partial documentation build chain: html pages can be built without xmlto. This is documented in INSTALL now, together with corrections: Before, instructions in INSTALL would build man+html but install man only. Now the instructions build and install both, and new and pre-existing targets are explained. Note that build targets "doc" and "man" correspond to install targets "install-doc install-html" and "install-doc" respectively. This inconsistency is not changed, in order to keep everyone's build scripts from breaking. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

allow installation of man and html doc from the man and html branches

2008-09-10T22:40:13Z

This patch introduces a make target "quick-install-html" which installs the html documentation from the branch origin/html, without the need for asciidoc/xmlto. This is analogous to the existing "quick-install-doc" target for the man pages. We advertise these targets in the INSTALL file now. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Tone down warning about GNU Interactive Tools

2008-07-09T06:05:26Z

The mention of 1997 was correct when it was made, and it still is true to some extent (http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5189 says it has not been actively maintained for quite some time). However, because its name changed not to conflict with us, it is no longer relevant whether many users use gnuit or have moved away to graphical file managers. The only people possibly affected are people who have older version of gnuit installed as "git". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

INSTALL: Update section about git-frotz form.

2008-07-06T06:31:42Z

The old text stated that 'git-frotz' can be always used instead of 'git frotz' which is no longer true. Signed-off-by: Miklos Vajna Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

The "curl" executable is no longer required

2008-06-15T20:44:44Z

git-clone.sh was the last user of the "curl" executable. Relevant git commands now use libcurl instead. This should be reflected in the install requirements. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
