It seems like LibGit2Sharp is dependant on libssl 1.1 but Ubuntu 22.04 only comes with 3x

@jhested LibGit2Sharp 0.27.2 should work fine with Ubuntu 22.04 and OpenSSL 3. The version of libgit2 used in that release can dynamically use libssl.so.3.

We already run tests on Ubuntu 22.04 that pass without problems. I also just reconfirmed it with a test app that calls Repository.Clone with both an http and http url.

If you can provide some actual code for me to try that reproduces the problem you're seeing, I can look into it further, but right now I'm not seeing anything wrong.

Hi @bording ,

Thanks for your reply, here is the code I'm using to test

public GitClient(GitClientOptions config) 
{
    _config = config;

    CloneOptions co = new CloneOptions();            

    co.CredentialsProvider = (_url, _user, _cred) => new UsernamePasswordCredentials { Username = "x-access-token", Password = _config.PersonalAccessToken };

    _cloneOptions = co;
}

public string Clone(string url, string path, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    return Repository.Clone(url, path, _cloneOptions);
}

FYI: I was able to get it working by manually installing openssl 1.1

@jhested I've now also tested cloning a repo that requires credentials, and everything is still working fine, no OpenSSL 1.1 required.

Are you sure you're using LibGit2Sharp 0.27.2?

At this point I think I would need to see a fully working sample that reproduces the problem you're having, because all signs point to it being something other than LibGit2Sharp at this point.

@bording Thanks for taking your time to investigate this. I can no longer reproduce the error, after installing OpenSSL 1.1 manually, so I will setup a clean WSL later and test it again.

Will get back with the results tonight

@bording I have tested this out on a coworkers machines, and it worked perfectly on his. I will close the issue
