Our config entry has this form: [http] sslCAinfo = /ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt and in the RUNTIME_PREFIX mode, this will be made relative to the runtime prefix. It is my understanding that bf9acba (http: treat config options sslCAPath and sslCAInfo as paths, 2015-11-23) makes this work. > I can provide a system gitconfig file with a setting for http.sslCAInfo > but the problem is I can't create a relocatable path here so I don't > know how to set it: > > $ cat $prefix/etc/gitconfig > [http] > sslCAInfo = <prefix>/etc/ca-bundle.crt > > What do I use for <prefix> above since I want it to be relocatable? > Basically I want this to be in the same directory as the relocatable > sysconfdir (I don't actually care much but that seems like a good > place). > > Is there some way to create a reference to a path relative to the > installation directory? > > For example "~" is accepted as the users $HOME path; is there some > syntax which refers to the Git installation directory? > > If not this seems like something that would be very useful. > > > I can use a wrapper script and set GIT_SSL_CAINFO, but that will also > override any user's setting of http.sslCAInfo in their local gitconfig > which I don't really want. I think if you simply delete `<prefix>`, it will start working. Ciao, Johannes
