remove openssl dependency

[kudlatyamroth]

Probably only git2 is blocking from switch to rustls
one of alternative would be gitoxide

with openssl there is only problems on cross build...

There is already a git2 feature flag, which you can disable to avoid that dependency. Maybe that does the trick for you?

#92 moves all the reqwest stuff into a http feature flag. Is the reqwest default-tls a problem for you? If so, it should be trivial now to add a https flag to allow disabling https, or create a set of tls features to match the various reqwest tls feature flags.

[kudlatyamroth]

if problem is only with reqwest, why not use: rustls-tls

but i think git2 also have some problems here

[kudlatyamroth]

ok, now im sure that git2 has dependency on openssl, and yes we want to use https
but as of now, we cant move to gitoxide as it not support checkout, which is must have here :)

[jayvdb]

for cross-compiling I recommend trying https://github.com/rust-cross/cargo-zigbuild

agree, if you want git2 with https support, openssl is mandatory per https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/blob/master/Cargo.toml#L38C1-L38C62

however, gitoxide does support cloning and it does perform a checkout of the default branch.

Is it really missing the ability to checkout a specified branch?? It appears so, at least on the gix cli: GitoxideLabs/gitoxide#301

I see gix clone has no -b arg. That is all we need. It seems like the underlying functionality must already exist in gix.

[jayvdb]

Well, even if gix doesnt support checking out a rev, we could support gix checking out the default branch only, which would be what most users want in order to access https://github.com/kstasik/schema-tools-templates .

[kudlatyamroth]

from my point of view, you not always want to use newest version of templates, for example we will switch from version 0.6 schema-tools to 0.16
so if we will use newest templates with 0.6 it would break things that already work
not supporting exact rev, will bring breaking changes when you not make any bit of change in your code :) (like new way of oneOf)
