Thanks Dan,
It's interesting I had to do this by trial and error. Hopefully this info will help someone:
1) To install subversion svn and git on a Angstrom distribution:
- use the opkg package manager (check more info here: http://gumstix.org/add-software-packages.html)
- add the Angstrom Distribution Repository to the base packages
$ echo 'src/gz angstrom-base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base' > /etc/opkg/angstrom-base.conf
- $ opkg update
- $ opkg install git
- $ opkg install subversion
so simple... but quite hard to find the solution!
2) Use Linaro! (from my short user experience)
Follow this guide: http://www.b1gtuna.com/2012/08/installing-linaro-image-on-gumstix-overo/
I have tried the default Angstrom distros provided in: http://cumulus.gumstix.org/images/angstrom/
but they always were missing something that I needed, and could not get around getting it to work/install.
So I finally came across the Linaro distribution. It works well and fits my needs. It uses apt-get and pretty much everything that I needed was there and worked at first.
So far so good!
