I would like to install git on a solaris 10 sparc 64 bit machine. Is there a trustworthy repository for solaris packages (like git)?

I would like a binary package.

sunfreeware seems to cost money nowadays, and it is simply too difficult for me to go through purchase, for a simple try-out.

Edit: sunfreeware is still free. You have to click cancel before switching site.

Have a look to OpenCSW or migrate to Solaris 11 which has git in its standard repository. OpenCSW and Solaris 11 installers automatically handles dependencies unlike Sunfreeware packages.

    This works really great. I managed to use it offline as well.

Sunfreeware has a Sparc Solaris 10 version of git-1.7.6 that would install in /usr/local/bin.

Note that there are a whole bunch of dependencies and they may have dependencies too.

  • It lets you click a couple of times, before asking you to subscribe at a cost, which is something I would like to avoid.

  • @mirk: Just click cancel - sunfreeware is free - I just downloaded the git package and it's dependencies.

  • The Sunfreeware URL is throwing a 404.
