hi

is there any reason why the download code is in pacman and not in the
library? yes, i know, this way the frontends are not forced to use
libftp, for example they can use curl, if you want. but i think this is
not the same situation as the list handling functions / GList (ie. at a gtk
frontend)

imho placing the old download code in pacman, and not in the library is a
disadvantage, and not an advantage

or we could allow to use NULL as the download cb function pointer, and
then use the our own download code

opinions? if i would implement this then theoratically you wouldn't have
objections?

udv / greetings,
VMiklos
