vgit on x64

Post by adam » Sat May 20, 2023 1:34 am

Whenever I try to clone, well, anything, I get the following:

$ vgit clone https://github.com/lsst-sqre/farthing
Cloning into 'farthing'...
Bad news:
failed to make directory 'farthing/.git': bad file version number [2]

That is, it's trying to make the .git directory, which is definitely a thing a git repo needs, and then failing because that's not how VMS works.

Am I doing something wrong, or is vgit?

Where is your current directory? It looks like you are on an ODS2 disk but you should be on an ODS5 disk.

Thank you! Yes, apparently I didn't specify /struct=5 when I initialized my user disk. Converting it now has gotten me further (to figuring out why name resolution isn't working, when I am getting an address from DHCP and that should be passing the nameserver address as well).

Takes just a few sec/min to do a $ TCPIP SET NAME....
and you have your DNS settings done.

How did you get VGIT?

In the open source products listing it appears as an available option for X86, but then when I click on the link I see Alpha and IA64 kits, but no X86 kit.

Hi Paul. For x86 stuff you currently have to go to the Service Portal. Once logged in there click the "Only Accessable" box to show you what you are allowed to download. It will probably be all x86 items. VGET is one of the listed. There is a ZIP file, a ZIP_VNC and a PDF for release notes

You can also do a "Data Search" for VGIT and it will show up.
