My comment was about claiming "not distributable". That was simply not true. It's perfectly distributable, it's just Debian that has issues with OpenSSL (but then they shouldn't link it against curl either, so there seems to be some _other_ problem there too). > And the problem is that curl linked against gnutls seems _broken_, so > Anand has asked if Debian can ship a binary git linked against a curl > that is linked against openssl (and the answer is probably "no, Debian > people think that is wrong"). Sure. And you can probably fix it by using NO_OPENSSL, which uses the Mozilla SHA1 library. As I also pointed out. In short - I just wanted to make sure that we do not make the insane Debian policies somehow official git ones.
