Git Packages for Ubuntu

I have a Ubuntu repository for git. It’s hosted at Launchpad and I try to build packages of the latest git version within a few days after it’s official release. The only time I will announce an update on my blog is when it is a new upstream release. All other updates I will announce on my twitter account @avhsoftware.

Current version: 1.7.0.1

Git is available for the following Ubuntu distributions:

• Jaunty
• Karmic

To add my repository to your system follow these instructions:

Add my repository key:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4CBEDD5A

To add my repository to your system:

1. Goto System -> Administration -> Software Sources
2. Click Third-Party Software or Other Software
3. Click Add
4. Fill in the APT line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pdoes/ppa/ubuntu distro main
   Replace distro with either jaunty or karmic, depending on your distribution.
5. Click Add Source
6. Click Close
7. Click Reload
