hardcoded dependency to readline in lua module

Submitted by ThierryBultel on Sun, 2014-02-09 09:33

Hi,

Whereas it is possible to compile with -DTASKBROWSER_EDITLINE,
for using libedit instead of readline (that has a GPL license) with the
task browser,
the lua module always depends on readline .

Is it planned to add a similar choice for it ?

Regards
Thierry

That decision might be made easier if you could provide a patch to realise
this request? :-)

Not by me at least, however a nice clean patch would have excellent
chances to be accepted :-)
