Binaries for newer versions of libgit2?

[tompazourek]

The latest version of libgit2sharp.nativebinaries NuGet package contains binaries for the version 0.28.0 of libgit2. However, there have been many releases since:

• 0.28.1
• 0.28.2
• 0.28.3
• 0.28.4
• 0.28.5
• 0.99.0
• 1.0.0
• 1.0.1
• 1.1.0

They contain some useful fixes that would be nice to have. Are there any plans to publish binaries for these newer versions?

Thanks

I'm also wondering if there is a particular reason why it isn't updated to a newer version.

I've cloned both repositories libgit2sharp and this one, made a few changes to get it running with net5 and Visual Studio 2019.
Then I've updated/compiled/packaged this repo to use the source of libgit2 1.1.0 with the provided scripts.

Then I ran the tests in LibGit2Sharp.Tests (which uses the new binary package) and only 5 tests failed:

I think it would be nice to have an additional nuget alpha preview release of libgit2sharp with the 1.1.0 binaries, so more people are able to test it.

This now seems to be available at:

• Update libgit2 to v1.1.1 #114
• Allow compiling with Visual Studio 2019 #115

But it seems there is no one looking at this project anymore :-(

@DvdKhl With the package produced by #114 I was able to run all tests successfully with only a few minor changes. "origin/HEAD" is now added when cloning (see libgit2/libgit2#5651) and some tests are failing because they are counting the branches after clone.

I didn't have any issue with CanGetBlobAsTextWithVariousEncodings or NoPublicTypesUnderLibGit2SharpCoreNamespace.

I will create a PR but I need to reference the new package which is not on nuget.org for the CI to pass.

@jairbubbles #114 has been merged, and I've published 2.0.315-alpha.0.1 with the changes.

Looks awesome to me!

I create a draft PR here in libGit2Sharp => libgit2/libgit2sharp#1905

Since we now have packages up on nuget.org with newer versions, I'm going to go ahead and close this.
