Compile and Install libgit2 for pygit2

# This Script/gist helps you creating a libgit2 Debian Package from Source.

# Specify the libgit2 Version you want to build here!
LIBGIT2VERSION="0.24.1"

# Install dependencies (Ubuntu 14.04):
apt-get install wget cmake libssl-dev pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libssh2-1-dev libhttp-parser-dev checkinstall

# create working directory
mkdir libgit2
cd libgit2

# Download and extract Sourcecode of Version $LIBGIT2VERSION
wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v$LIBGIT2VERSION.tar.gz
tar xfz v$LIBGIT2VERSION.tar.gz
cd libgit2-$LIBGIT2VERSION

# compile libgit2
cmake .
make

# create a Debian Package, this allows us to cleanly remove libgit2 via package management
checkinstall --install=no
mv libgit2_$LIBGIT2VERSION-1_amd64.deb ../
cd ../
ls -lah

# Install and link the Library
dpkg -i libgit2_$LIBGIT2VERSION-1_amd64.deb
ldconfig

Keep in mind that the "checkinstall" is not automated, you need to interact with it. (line 23)

to Work with Saltstack (2015.5.3) on Ubuntu 14.04 you need to install pygit2 in version 0.23.1 and libgit2 in version 0.23.3
