Re: Github plugin not built in Ubuntu PPA

 

Hi Carl,

Do you mean PPA for the 4.0 branch? Recently I had troubles building the
4.0 branch with Github plugin enabled on Arch as well.

Seemingly the problem is disabled SSLv3 support in Arch's OpenSSL
package, which might be the case in Ubuntu as well. SSLv3 is used by
avhttp to connect to Github. In the master branch, avhttp is already
replaced with curl, which works fine.

The 4.0 branch becomes tough to maintain, I do not know if backporting
the curl patch is a simple task now.

Regards,
Orson
