Continuing the discussion from Issues with gitlab and the package manager:

Weekly CI failed again today:

0.15.0-dev.1393+493265486

/usr/local/bundle/gems/zigrb-0.0.1/ext/build.zig.zon:40:20: error: unable to discover remote git server capabilities: CompressionUnsupported
            .url = "git+https://gitlab.com/fjc/zigby.git#57d01bac78e1a152172d1daee4868593eb1c5156",
                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
zig failed, exit code 1

Last week was successful with 0.15.0-dev.1271+bb2984673.

If this is a recent regression, please file an issue with a repro on ziglang/zig so we can investigate it before 0.15.0 is tagged.

Thanks for the example. I noticed that it still doesn’t work after the branch:

$ stage4/bin/zig fetch "git+https://gitlab.com/fjc/zigby.git#57d01bac78e1a152172d1daee4868593eb1c5156"
error: unable to discover remote git server capabilities: InvalidPacket

I’ll look into this right away
