There is a libgit2 project which tries to do this, but it's far =66rom complete: http://repo.or.cz/w/libgit2.git > By the way, is there a web site/page for libgit.a? No, there isn't. I think the only sane solution is what Fedora does as well: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/cgit/ When cgit-1.2.3 is released, have a look at its Makefile, check what Git version does it want and add the relevant Git source to the cgit source package. [ I remember Debian did not support having multiple upstream sources / one source package, I hope this is no longer the situation. ;-) ] --cjNiBkmi8s9yAE0W Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkuTmYEACgkQe81tAgORUJZULgCeLrM+UtTnn63o4On7VsD/wQ5S AJAAoJHs/xVzgmWpYKXIxy/gZ6U/6Cww =xk1N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cjNiBkmi8s9yAE0W--
