When using sys-apps/fwupd-1.8.0 to refresh firmware metadata, it fails with "no libcurl support": $ sudo fwupdmgr refresh --force Updating lvfs no libcurl support I believe this is caused by "-Dcurl="disabled" in the local emesonargs in src_configure. I'll try to build with that enabled, and also send a GitHub PR if works. Reproducible: Always
Thanks, Ferenc, Builds for me and fixes the problem. I would think that a "net-misc/curl" requirement in COMMON_DEPEND is necessary, though.
(In reply to Patrick Holthaus from comment #1) > Builds for me and fixes the problem. Thanks for the testing and feedback! > I would think that a "net-misc/curl" requirement in COMMON_DEPEND is necessary, though. Yes, that sounds correct. In previous sys-apps/fwupd ebuild versions, net-misc/curl was already in COMMON_DEPEND, together with -Dcurl="true" in emesonargs. However in =sys-apps/fwupd-1.8.0, COMMON_DEPEND still included net-misc/curl, but emesonargs had -Dcurl="disabled" instead. Therefore I believe emesonargs is the only bit to patch in the ebuild, apart from bumping the revision (which is required to trigger recompilation for those who already installed it without curl support).

With =disabled, naturally, curl functionality is off and fwupd can't fetch from the internet at all, so updates are broken. Looks like this was a mistake given curl remains in RDEPEND too, and given the above.
