defect: git-flow install fails on Yosemite on git clone

[george.cooper@…]

running sudo port install git-flow gives me:

If I attempt to clone the repo directly it's fine, so I don't believe this is a git or network configuration issue on my end.

When reporting bugs against ports, please Cc the maintainer, if any.

The problem is:

Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to github.com:-67674

This is a duplicate of #42063, where we were never able to figure out what's wrong. You can try the suggested steps there, and you can also try opening a bug report with Apple about this. It might also be something like OpenSSL's ​http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2771 (user/pw guest/guest).

Works for me on Yosemite, w/

$ /usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)

What's the OS version, Xcode version, etc.?

Have you tried ticket:42063#comment:8? Of course, it requires you to install Macports git first.

[george.cooper@…]

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git:
	/usr/lib/libpcre.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.1.0)
	/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.5)
	/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1213.0.0)

xcodebuild -version:
Xcode 6.1
Build version 6A1052d

And Yosemite Build 14A389

What file do I edit to set git_path? I don't have the one referenced in the other ticket.

[gorticus (Jason Mitchell)]

On Macports v2.3.2, a quick find yields:

$ find /opt/local/ -name port_autoconf.tcl
/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/port1.0/port_autoconf.tcl

with 47: variable git_path "/usr/bin/git".

One interesting note:

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 6.1
Build version 6A1052c

What does your $ git --version show?

[george.cooper@…]

I've since installed the MacPorts git, so I've included both that and the built-in version query:

/usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)

git --version
git version 2.1.2

Changing git_path fixed it completely. Is it safe to leave that setting that way when doing future selfupdates?

[gorticus (Jason Mitchell)]

Glad you have a workaround. It's probably safe to use until you want to do a selfupdate, at which time, if I remembered, I'd swap back and see how far I could get.

BTW, and this is a long shot, did you set user.email and user.name in your ~/.gitconfig?

BBTW, I'm not sure I can resolve/close this ticket. My only Action is leave as new...

[george.cooper@…]

Okay, I'll just proceed accordingly. And yea, I had set user.email and user.name in ~/.gitconfig, as well as github.user

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Replying to jason-macports@…:

Glad you have a workaround. It's probably safe to use until you want to do a selfupdate, at which time, if I remembered, I'd swap back and see how far I could get.

It's safe to leave this value at /opt/local/bin/git. Note that the next selfupdate (that actually installs a newer version of MacPorts, all others won't touch the file) might revert the change.

This is Apple's bug, not ours. Please file a radar. There's not much (or rather, nothing in excess of what I already did in #42063) we can do about it.
