git version error with rvm installer #26

Closed logicminds closed 12 years ago

logicminds commented 12 years ago

The rvm docs say that the rvm installer must have the latest version of git. My RHEL4 system only has git version 1.5.4 and does not implement the --trace option. Therefore the entire module will not work unless I get an git rpm package from somewhere else.

I later found out that RVM requires Bash 4.0 which is not part of RHEL4 so looks like I can't use your wonderful module since I don't meet the minimum requirements of RVM. :(

Where did you find the minimum git version? I see 1.7 is recommended, but could not find the minimum version.

This is not an issue anymore since rvm requires Bash 4.0. I can't even install rvm manually since I am stuck on RHEL4 which uses bash 3.0 You might want to add a package requirement of Bash 4.0 in your puppet module to refuse installation to anybody not using bash 4.0
