Hi Danny,

AFAICS changes to libgit2 can go to master.

Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org> skribis:

> * gnu/packages/patches/libgit2-avoid-python.patch: New file.
> * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.

So the goal is to remove Python from libgit2=E2=80=99s *build-time*
dependencies, right?  (Python is not a run-time dependency for libgit2
according to =E2=80=98guix size libgit2=E2=80=99.)  Can you explain a bit m=
ore?  :-)

This is really cool, but at the same time I feel like we=E2=80=99d rather h=
ave a
compelling reason to start maintaining a parallel implementation of
their test suite machinery.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
