Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
It supposes when people specify the libdir/includedir they do it to
change where under prefix/exec_prefix it should be, not to make it
independent of prefix/exec_prefix.
Closes#6061
A project being built entirely statically will call pkg-config with
--static, which utilises the Libs.private field. Conversely it will
not use --static when not being built entirely statically, even if
there is only a static build of libcurl available. This will most
likely cause the build to fail due to underlinking unless we merge the
Libs fields.
Consider that this is what the Meson build system does when it
generates pkg-config files.
I have also reflected this in the --libs argument of curl-config even
though REQUIRE_LIB_DEPS always seems to be "yes" anyway.
Closes#5373
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/

bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in
PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in
how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those
tools should now always be synced.
