Already before, I’ve mentioned that libcurl <\/a>is becoming popular within package management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"libcurl\"libcurl <\/a>is a generic library for file transfers over a wide variety of protocols. Over the years, some of the recent ditributed version management softwares have learned about libcurl’s powers and they now use it:<\/p>\n

darcs <\/a>– was born in 2003 and is written in Haskell<\/a>. I’m under the impression these guys wrote their own binding layer to interface libcurl from Haskell.<\/p>\n

git <\/a>– possibly best known for being created by Linus Torvalds <\/a>and being used by the Linux kernel project<\/a>, is using libcurl for HTTP(S) accesses.<\/p>\n

bazaar<\/a> – is written in Python and accordingly uses the pycurl<\/a> binding for libcurl.<\/p>\n

Anyone know of other version control systems using libcurl?<\/p>\n

Ironies here include that libcurl itself is still kept within a CVS respository<\/a>, and also quite possibly that the first version management project I myself participated is Subversion<\/a> and that not only has two different HTTP dependencies, but none of those two are libcurl (they are neon <\/a>and serf<\/a>)…<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> it seems that Mercurial<\/a> is also using pycurl as an optional dependency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
