Description Dirk Hohndel 2015-08-26 16:58:54 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build Identifier: 

the libgit2 maintainers decided to use libcurl as their advanced transport for http/https based traffic. In order to allow libgit2 to work through http/https proxies it has to be built against libcurl
I believe all that is needed is to have a build requirement for libcurl-devel; the libgit2 cmake file will detect libcurl and automatically build against this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.build an application against libgit2 (e.g. Subsurface master)
2.try to access an https based git repository while behind a reverse proxy / firewall that blocks direct https access (e.g. try to access Subsurface cloud storage in a typical corporate environment)

Actual Results:  
access to the remote repository fails even if the correct proxies are set up as libgit2 as currently shipped in Fedora isn't built against libcurl and therefore doesn't support http/https proxies

Expected Results:  
access to the remote repository should work with correctly configured proxy settings

Ping?

I am a provenpackager and can take care of rebuilding libgit2 with a new BR on libcurl-devel.

This should impact consumers of libgit2 since we're just rebuilding the package, no change in the version, so it sounds like an easy build :)

Let me know if you want to me to care of it.
