Please hold a sec. I am not sure how I should read Stefan's reply on r1927054
whether it is a veto or not.
r1927054 would be handy for me personally as I have to support RedHat 7 builds
at $work which are affected by this,
but I get and accept his concerns. While one could argue that the patch is very
easy and thus should be added
it opens a door that people would request us to support old libcurl versions or
other 3rd party libraries we depend on
where the cases are much more difficult. It should probably be left to the
builder to patch this away.
OTOH the check in configure accepts all curl versions >= 7.29. Hence I think it
should be adjusted as well if we do not
want to support that old versions.
Maybe we need a more general discussion outside of this release what versions
of 3rd party dependencies we still would
like to support and what rules we follow for this such that we set the correct
expectations for our users.
