The situation regarding the lack of TLS support in Debian’s libgit2 package remains unchanged. The OpenSSL license is incompatible with commonly used GPL versions. Although libgit2 has an OpenSSL license exception, julia uses at least one other GPL-licensed library (FFTW) without such an exception. The OpenSSL project has recently called for contributors to accept a relicensing [1] to the Apache License 2.0; however, it remains to be seen whether and when this will succeed. We intend to upload julia 0.6 to experimental soon, but it will lack support for external packages as a consequence of the above issue and as such will be unfit for inclusion in the next Debian stable release. The best you can do at this point is follow the status of the most recent pull request [2] for inclusion of an alternative TLS backend based on mbedTLS into libgit2.
