so you might need to install additional packages other than Perl
itself, e.g. Time::HiRes.
- - "openssl" library is used by git-imap-send to use IMAP over SSL.
- If you don't need it, use NO_OPENSSL.
+ - git-imap-send needs the OpenSSL library to talk IMAP over SSL if
+ you are using libcurl older than 7.34.0. Otherwise you can use
+ NO_OPENSSL without losing git-imap-send.
By default, git uses OpenSSL for SHA1 but it will use its own
library (inspired by Mozilla's) with either NO_OPENSSL or
BLK_SHA1. Also included is a version optimized for PowerPC
(PPC_SHA1).
- - "libcurl" library is used by git-http-fetch and git-fetch. You
- might also want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes.
- If you do not use http:// or https:// repositories, you do not
- have to have them (use NO_CURL).

- "expat" library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is optional
