When subsurface started using libgit2, it was clearly indicated by upstream that the library is unstable.
Moreover, libgit2 was FTBFS (or crash on the testsuite) on every debian architecture except for x86_64. The library was clearly not ready for use. Libraries are crazy, but when clearly stated as unstable. Perhaps they shouldn't be used. 2015-08-12 12:03 GMT+02:00 Tomaz Canabrava <[email protected]>: > It's not our fault that some libraries are crazy and broke everything, it's > not our fault that distros have a broken by design approach. > > > Em qua, 12 de ago de 2015 04:47, Salvo Tomaselli <[email protected]> > escreveu: >> >> I have filed a grave debian bug that will lead to automatic removal >> from the archive. >> >> I am a bit bitter about it, especially after the hours spent packaging >> it last summer; but besides forking it, there is nothing I can do. >> >> I normally avoid installing things that are not packaged, unless I >> really need them.
