Re: GNUrl, GNUnet and alpine-linux

[Martin Schanzenbach]

please see https://www.gnunet.org/en/news/2022-09-0.17.6.html
gnurl dependency is not a thing anymore since September 2022.
gnurl itself is unmaintained.

we now detect both debian style renamed symbols (curl-gnutls) as well as a normal curl optionally compiled against gnutls. gnutls detection is also done at runtime.

Hence many distributions (now also including OpenWrt[1]) now offer
a package called 'curl-gnutls' which basically builds libcurl with
the settings previously used to build libgnurl and then uses patchelf
to change the soname from 'curl' to 'curl-gnutls'.  

Sadly, this is not (yet) the case for Alpine Linux. Here, curl is
linked against OpenSSL and there is no package called curl-gnutls. 

Maybe the fact that gnURL is a relict of the past should be officially
announced or at least more prominently stated on the project website?
 

I agree, some update is needed on how to handle this. 

Also I'd like to point out that the information about gnURL on
gnunet.org is reachable under

  https://www.gnunet.org/en/gnurl.html

but not under 

  https://gnunet.org/en/gnurl.html
