Hi,
currently, libosinfo requires [1] libsoup for two tests, to check the
validity of all the URLs in osinfo-db; while simple to use, libsoup is
HTTP only, and thus cannot be used to validate other protocols used in
osinfo-db (like ftp).
This series proposes the switch from libsoup to libcurl -- it has the
following advantages:
- ftp (and other) URLs can be tested
- slightly more flexible than libsoup
- stable library, widely available, portable, and with a liberal
license (MIT)
[1] even if just for two tests, not for the main library nor the tools
-- maybe a followup patch could be loosen the requirement, and
conditionalize the build of those tests only when libsoup/libcurl
is present
Thanks,
Pino Toscano (2):
