[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#989287: libcivetweb1: build with websockets support

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Package: libcivetweb1
Version: 1.13+dfsg-5
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: claude at mathr.co.uk

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I wanted to write a websocket server using civetweb packaged in Debian.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Debian civetweb is not built with websockets support.


I managed to rebuild the package locally with websockets support by adding
-DCIVETWEB_ENABLE_WEBSOCKETS=ON to CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS in debian/rules, adding
extra lines to debian/libcivetweb1.symbols like
 mg_websocket_client_write at Base 1.13+dfsg-5
 mg_websocket_write at Base 1.13+dfsg-5

I'm not sure if other changes need to be made (e.g. library version bump for
changed ABI?).


Thanks for your consideration,
