Version: 1:1.7.6~rc1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Debian’s git package has been carrying patches for honoring DNS SRV
records since 1:1.7.6~rc1-1 [1]. Unfortunately, keeping these
Debian-specific isn’t too helpful to anyone who might think about
deploying such SRV records. In addition, the patches include quite a bit
of refactoring that often conflicts with upstream development, making them
hard to rebase for new upstream versions, as I’ve been discovering in the
process of packaging new versions for the Ubuntu PPA [2]; I’ve reluctantly
dropped them in my most recent uploads there.
The last attempt to upstream this patch set was in 2012, which apparently
concluded with
“It seemed nice in principle, but if I understood correctly then the API
was too complicated for anyone but me to like it. Instead of an interface
similar to getaddrinfo, it would probably be better to implement an
interface _identical_ to getaddrinfo for the the subset of functionality
that git uses.” [4]
Is that still the plan?
