having to write any code.

Other changes since 0.1.2:

- Fix build against mingw64 toolchain.

- Remove bogus minimum storage information for Fedora.
- Add varirables for system and local database paths in pkg-config.


What is libosinfo?
=============

libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about
operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can
support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs
to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a
hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all
common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python
(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.

libosinfo is Free Software and licenced under LGPLv2+.
