That's right, this is the message I got. I said no and the installation still continued:

[vaikunth@lsst-dbdev1 qserv]$ bash newinstall.sh

LSST Software Stack Builder
=======================================================================

Detected git version 1.7.1.

The git version control system is frequently used with LSST software. While
the LSST stack should build and work even in the absence of git, we don't
regularly run and test it in such environments. We therefore recommend you
have at least git 1.8.4 installed with you normal package manager.

Would you like to try continuiung without git?

So, should we ask for a newer version to be installed?

I think that the new version of newinstall.sh does no more install git, it only check the version...

I'd let the installation script install a newer git. It won't affect the system-installed git, AFAIK.

Hi Vainkunth,

It may work, if not git will have to be upgraded.

Cheers,

BTW installation was complaining that git was an old version (1.7.X) and the newest one is 1.9.something. Should git be updated on dbdev1 or is it ok?

It looks like dbdev1 (if you log in, it says who usually
uses which, and this one seems to be free, so is 6 too)

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on moving to the dbdev machines at NCSA instead of my own
laptop (specially for working on the multi-node setup), so I wanted to
ask which machine I can establish as my workhorse. I understand many of
you use one of them as your "main machine" so I don't want to interfere
with the most busy ones. So I guess I'm simply asking which machine can
I use that is least likely to cause interference with others' work?

Thanks,
