| c-ares |
| ====== |
| |
| This package is based on ares 1.1.1 (written by Greg Hudson). Daniel Stenberg |
| decided to fork and release a separate project since the original ares author |
| didn't want the improvements that were vital for our use of it. |
| |
| This package is dubbed 'c-ares' since Daniel wanted this for use within the |
| curl project (hence the letter C) and it makes a nice pun. c-ares is not API |
| compatible with ares: a new name makes that more obvious to the public. |
| |
| The original libares was distributed at |
| ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu:pub/ATHENA/ares (which seems to not be alive |
| anymore). A local copy of the original ares package is kept here: |
