*And* I have to clone the whole git repo when really I just want to install the current release of the program
That is by design. If *you* want to get the bits that way, then *you* must build valgrind. Besides, the repo is not large, and building it is not long. Someone whose email address ends in .ucsc.edu should have no resource problems.
If the goal is "install the current release" with the least hassle, then you should consider installing the current release from a Linux distribution such as Fedora or Debian. The .rpm or .deb is "signed by someone reputable". It may even have some bugs fixed already. _______________________________________________ Valgrind-users mailing list Valgrind-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/valgrind-users
