Current behavior 😯

When running cargo quickinstall or cargo install on Fedora 36, gitoxide both fails to find a binary release, and fails to build.

Output:

Could not find a pre-built package for gitoxide 0.17.0 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
We have reported your installation request, so it should be built soon.
Falling back to `cargo install`.

Expected behavior 🤔

Gitoxide shouldn't have build errors

Steps to reproduce 🕹

1. Run rustup update
2. Run cargo quickinstall gitoxide

Thanks for reporting, it's good to know that openssl can cause trouble (probably along with all other C dependencies).

A a workaround, you can try cargo install --no-default-features --features small gitoxide which will avoid pulling in most C code (maybe even be pure Rust), at the expense of not being competitive in performance.

This probably means that there should be a pure-Rust version optimized for performance one day, maybe even as the default.

Please note that I am closing this issue as there is nothing I can do at this time to support each and every platform while C toolchains are involved.

Alright it seems like the error is a general OpenSSL error on Fedora. The solution is to install perl using sudo dnf install perl before installing gitoxide. Once perl is installed, then gitoxide builds perfectly fine.
