I investigated a bit. It is really complicated. Version of libgit2 in sid is 23, which is source-incompatible with 18. Enumerations fields gets added/removed, whole structs gets removed, callback arguments are changed and so on. It is only things I encountered in attempt to compile, to say nothing about properly mirroring libgit2-23 API. It needs not patch, but support from maintainer, if you ask me. Sorry, but I am not up to this migration. -- Accept: text/plain, text/x-diff Accept-Language: eo,en,ru X-Keep-In-CC: yes X-Web-Site: sinsekvu.github.io
