[bug#27893] [PATCH] gnu: julia: Work around some test failures related to libgit2.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Leo,

Leo Famulari <address@hidden> skribis:

> * gnu/packages/version-control.scm (libgit2-0.25): New variable.
> * gnu/packages/julia.scm (julia)[inputs]: Replace LIBGIT2 with LIBGIT2-0.25.
> * gnu/packages/patches/libgit2-use-after-free.patch: New file.
> * gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.

Sorry for not noticing the breakage!  I wonder if it would be
easier/safer to fix Julia than to keep the old libgit2.

Does this upstream commit fix the failures that you saw?

    Fix libgit2 test failure with system libgit2 and OpenSSL (#22722)
    
    The first letter of the error message is in lowercase in some systems,
    notably Fedora Rawhide with libgit2 0.26 and OpenSSL 1.1.0f.
