where is git-daemon?

Question

according to man git-daemon, this comes with the git package, althought i've look in /etc/init.d and /usr/bin/git* and i can't find where this is

$ git --version
git version 1.7.1
$ whereis git-daemon
git-daemon: /usr/share/man/man1/git-daemon.1.gz

this is on ubuntu 10.10 x86_64

from this post it seems that you might create the script, althought it is not clear what is the script/command that the manpage is referring to

Does this comes with a separate package now?

If it's installed it should be at /usr/lib/git-core/git-daemon but you may have to install it with apt-get install git-daemon

	yeah its in there.. /usr/lib ..wtf place to put an executable – lurscher May 22 '11 at 15:33
	@lurscher You can always symlink it to /usr/bin to make it easier to access. Just as an FYI you can use `find / --name git-daemon` to run a system search for it in future. Whereis will only show stuff on the system path – sam May 22 '11 at 15:36
