[Libosinfo] [libosinfo PATCH 0/2] Switch from libsoup to libcurl

[Pino Toscano]

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):
