In other words, I have a package that depends on libgit that downloads git as part of the build--probably not an acceptable build methodology. Am I going to have an option to build it using libgit from git-core? It depends on upstream. Back then, Junio asked to not provide such a library package in Debian, and I respect that. There've been some plans and effort to stabilize the lib in the past, but I'm not sure about the status. Would it be a compromise to provide libgit.a as a static library for until it stabilizes? That's not the compromise, that's the option, I don't know any plans about a shared library. The git-core-dev package that was available for short included such a static library. You really need to talk to upstream if you want this libgit.a. Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
