  • ITUGLIB Update: Git 2.42.0

    From Randall@rsbecker@nexbridge.com to comp.sys.tandem on Tue Aug 22 18:24:15 2023
    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.tandem

    Hi Everyone,
    Git 2.42.0 is now available for all NonStop platforms and OpenSSL builds including 3.0.x, 1.1.1, and 1.0.2. Note that OpenSSL 3.1.x and 3.0.x are binary compatible so you can use the 3.0 build for either one.
    Release notes are available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.42.0.txt taken from the link at the official git site at https://git-scm.com/.
    Be aware that OpenSSL 1.1.1 goes off support on Sept 11, so you should consider using the OpenSSL 3.0.x build for future work. Note that we have verified that git with OpenSSL 3.0.10 on L-series does not require the PRNGD server, and is much more stable and appears to be significantly faster.

    I just heard from my colleagues on the git dev team. The next planned git release is 2.43.0 scheduled at the end of November 2023. Loads of time to get used to 2.42.0.

    Please hold off on using this build. It depends on libz.so.1.2.11, which is not available on all systems and RVUs. I am looking to resolve this shortly.

    I have replaced the 2.42.0 builds for git to use static linkage of libz.a instead of using libz.so.1.2.11, which not everyone has on their systems. If you encountered undefined externals unrelated to OpenSSL (EVP_*, RAND_*), please download 2.42.0 again. If there are questions, post them here.
