Please bump it to a newer checkout and change it to xz instead of bz2. |
|
Do we really need to add server/client examples to the main branch? |
|
@toxxin I'm using the coap client to transfer data collected on an embedded device to a remote web server. The client implementation fits the needs both feature and memory wise on an embedded device. |
|
Actually I don't know. I'm not a big fan to include examples and other binaries, because this is the library package. Maybe it's ok. @diizzyy what do you think? |
|
LGTM 👍 version bumps and packaging changes are out of scope and should be separate contained self contained commits. @toxxin You still get the libcoap (library only) package. This just uses the same source to add the client/server packages as options. |
|
I'm not sure I follow but examples are needed to build client/server? |
|
@diizzyy Correct examples are needed to build the client/server utilities. Meanwhile I've a patch in my packages repo which updates libcoap to 4.1.2 (dedeckeh@b7e3196) |

@dedeckeh I would expect this to blow up on the buildbots during next update however.... Also, cosmetic but the topic of the pull req is wrong (version) |
