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). 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. Also, for now the operation is synchronous and there's no cancellable used ... but that's something that could be changed (although I don't see the need for that right now). 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 Changes since v1: - Use Gio instead of curl; - An additional patch removing a unused var; Fabiano Fidêncio (2): import: Learn how to deal with URLs import: Remove unused variable tools/osinfo-db-import.c | 91 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 84 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.19.1 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
