We build with USE_SSH=no when %{rhel} is set (true for RHEL, CentOS Stream, EPEL and Fedora ELN), so this doesn't affect us on those platforms.
This is not correct, the bug *does* affect EPEL, it only does not affect ELN. The "if rhel" conditional you mention is only present *for ELN* because SSH support is unwanted there. But the epel10* and epel9 branches have SSH support enabled. My apologies, I only checked the `libgit2` package (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libgit2/blob/epel10/f/libgit2.spec) and neglected to check the versioned ones. Moved to libgit2_1.9, which has the SSH support enabled. The libgit2 package is still at v1.7 in EPEL, and has it disabled. Submitted updates for 1.9.7 to EPEL 10.3, 10.2, and EPEL 9. FEDORA-EPEL-2026-da74b047d6 (libgit2_1.9-1.9.7-1.el10_3) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 10.3. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2026-da74b047d6 FEDORA-EPEL-2026-7671e4d4a3 (libgit2_1.9-1.9.7-1.el10_2) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 10.2. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2026-7671e4d4a3 FEDORA-EPEL-2026-a5f4b4222e (libgit2_1.9-1.9.7-1.el9) has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2026-a5f4b4222e FEDORA-EPEL-2026-da74b047d6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 10.3 testing repository.
