Thanks. I guess it does, if you are install jenkins on a system to which you are not root. Have you considered, on your "base" system, something like:
cd ~ git clone https://github.com/git/git cd git make configure ./configure --prefix=/jenkins/subdirectory/git #change as needed mkdir -p /jenkins/subdirectory/git make all doc #from INSTALL file doc make install install-doc install-html cd /jenkins/subdirectory zip git-zip.zip git to install: cd /jenkins/subdirectory rm -rf git #remove old git files - needed? unzip /path/to/git-zip.zip I don't really know if you need to change environment variables such as PATH and LIBPATH on the execution systems. I am not sure, but I would guess that the "/jenkins/subdirectory" will need to be the same on all slaves, so that git will know where it was installed. I don't know if that path is "hard coded" some how into the execution programs. Hopefully if I did something outrageously wrong, one of the more knowledgeable people, such as Konstantin, will indicate where I went wrong.
