Motivation for this change

This cleans up the git-series packaging to use fewer vendored native libraries, and minimally upgrades some of the Cargo dependencies to allow using recent versions of OpenSSL.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

LGTM, though upstream really needs to make a release soon. Things like having problems with latest rust and OpenSSL 1.1 isn't going to be good for them. Judging from recent commit activity I hope there will be one.

We could update to an unstable commit, but patching is just really the best way to go.

Oh! That's a pleasant surprise. When I wrote this originally (and mailed it out for upstreaming), there hadn't been any activity in 3 years.

Hmm, judging from

maybe more advisable to use an unstable version?

Perhaps, but this patch is strictly more conservative than that. I have more confidence in this version than in an unreleased version that upgrades major versions of more complex dependencies.

Correct, and you volunteer to maintain this anyway 👍
