Hey all,
First off, I have no intention of making Git::Raw (Perl libgit2
wrapper) or libgit2 a hard dependency. It'll be an option if
available, like most of our dependencies.
Git::Raw is not packaged with CentOS 7.x; but cpan/cpanm is an
option. It is in Debian 10.x as libgit-raw-perl, so I can
report bugs via Debian's BTS[*].
I only intend to use Git::Raw for blob retrievals as a separate
AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM daemon similar to how we use
`git cat-file --batch/--batch-check'.
The socket/pipe interface works well for unpredictable seek
times on HDDs. Using Git::Raw from an AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM
daemon would allow us to save pipe buffers, and PIDs when
there's tens/hundreds of thousands of git repos involved.
[*] I have no intention of ever using a proprietary service for
free software development. Even if GitHub were free software,
their terms-of-service is unacceptable to me.
