GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 80248
GNet support
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:14:32 UTC
The GNet library needs to be evaluated for making Pan's network code portable. The existing code won't fit in the Windows port, so we need to either make GNet an option or a prerequisite.
actually GIOChannel does almost everything we want. We may be able to just use glib2 plus a little bit of ifdef win32 code to open the socket fd in windows. A carefully-clipped version of gnet's tcp.c would be a few hundred lines and should be all we need past GIOChannel.
moving feature requests to 0.13.0. 0.12.x releases will be used for bugfixes.
Pan now uses GNet & GIOChannel for socket work... sockets.c and dialog-newuser.c build the same on Linux & 'doze.
