Research direction
Start by reading the linked pull requests #95 and #99, especially the referenced issue comment, to understand why libcurl wrapper generation stopped working. Identify how the libcurl headers are currently obtained and how wrapper code is generated. Done means headers can be sourced reproducibly, generation works again, and CI can detect differences between committed and freshly generated code.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
See https://github.com/JuliaWeb/LibCURL.jl/pull/95#issuecomment-736885467 and https://github.com/JuliaWeb/LibCURL.jl/pull/99: in short, we've lost the ability to generate the wrapper code for libcurl. Would be great to
- Artifactize the libcurl headers, possibly by including them in the JLL and
- Be able to generate code from that in a reproducible way
- Maybe add a CI step to make sure that what's committed matches what's generated afresh.
