This is a simple draft of a work that has been discussed back in July as part of this thread[0]. There are a few things which are not clear to me whether we want (or whether we do *not* want). This work adds a dependency on libcurl (which is not that bad) in order to download the archive file that would, then, be extracted into the user's desired location. For now I'm not using any progress callback to print the download status and I don't even know whether it would be desired to have. But this is something that could be easily done. In order to give it a try, please, just build our source with the patch included and try: ./tools/osinfo-db-import https://releases.pagure.org/libosinfo/osinfo-db-20180920.tar.xz ./tools/osinfo-db-import https://foo.bar/foo.bar.tar.xz [0]: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libosinfo/2018-July/msg00002.html Fabiano Fidêncio (1): import: Learn how to deal with URLs configure.ac | 1 + osinfo-db-tools.spec.in | 1 + tools/Makefile.am | 4 +- tools/osinfo-db-import.c | 120 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
