Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev

2022-10-11 21:13:09 UTC

With the transition to libsoup:3.0, I noticed fwupd depends on libsoup:2.4 (specifically >=net-libs/libsoup-2.51.92:2.4[introspection?]), but... 

(1) the build system doesn't check for it
(2) soup.h is never #included, and
(3) the libsoup dependency was removed and replaced with libcurl in

https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/3a73c342ba0874fb79a390bcbcb5fb79e8529b39

first in fwupd v1.5.2.

It looks like if the meson option soup_session_compat is enabled (which it is, by default, and we don't change it in the ebuild) fwupd builds some code that dlopens libsoup-2.4.so.1 at runtime. That sounds like an optfeature to me.

I also see no evidence for the the [introspection?] USE-dep.
