I tried installing git... it turns out that in Debian 3 git is the Gnu Interactive Tool, not a source code management program ;-) So I downloaded the latest version of git source, using wget from https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9.5.tar.gz https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.9... Then I found I needed zlib, from https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz https://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.12.tar.xz And I also needed Tcl/Tk https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.12-src.tar.gz https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.12-src.tar.gz And I also needed autoconf http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.71.tar.gz Autoconf needed a newer version of m4 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.gz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.19.tar.gz m4 couldn't install... I'm not sure why... so I gave up at that point. 8(
