Building against libgit2 1.2.0 results in failing tests

[donbex]

The libgit2 in the Arch repositories has been upgraded to version 1.2.0, so after a system update I encountered the error

sheldon: error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried re-building sheldon from source using the AUR package, but it resulted in a bunch of test failures:

I tried looking into it, but unfortunately I am not really familiar with Rust and couldn't locate the source of the error.

Thanks for the report, I am able to replicate. Sheldon depends on the Rust libgit2-sys package and the latest release of Sheldon depends on an older version of that package that doesn't seem to support libgit2 version >=1.2.0, this issue exists up stream. I might have to release a newer version of Sheldon that updates these dependencies to fully resolve this. Additionally, I don't maintain the AUR package so I'm not sure how quickly it will be updated.

In the meantime you can try download the MUSL release from the releases page It was compiled to statically link to libgit2 and other dependencies so should just work out of the box. The following script can do it for you automatically.

  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://rossmacarthur.github.io/install/crate.sh \
    | bash -s -- --repo rossmacarthur/sheldon --to /usr/bin
