[ptxdist] [PATCH] iw: version bump 3.14 -> 5.3

[Andreas Pretzsch]

Update from iw 3.14 (Jan 2014) to latest 5.3 (Aug 2019).

Since iw 3.5, it links against the newest version of libnl found,
with libnl-3 preferred (at least version 3.2).
Therefore switch from LIBNL to LIBNL3.
The version 1 of libnl is long outdated and deprecated, with the
last release 1.1.4 from 2013.
Inside ptxdist, iw was the last official user of LIBNL, all other
packages use LIBNL3.

While at it, update URL to https (HSTS policy on www.kernel.org).

[ptxdist] libnl: request to move to staging

[Andreas Pretzsch]

Given that with the version bump of iw (3.14 -> 5.3) the last official
user of libnl version 1 (ptxdist rule "libnl") is gone, I suggest it
should be moved to staging.
It is long outdated and deprecated, with the last official release
1.1.4 from 2013. In ptxdist, there is release 1.1.

All other packages already switched to libnl version 3 (ptxdist rule
"libnl3") for a long time, and so is the year-old recommendation of
libnl mainline.

Drop me a note (incl. removal date) if you want me to send a patch.

Best regards,
  Andreas

[ptxdist] [PATCH] libnl: move to staging (superseded by libnl3)

[Andreas Pretzsch]

The version 1 of libnl is long outdated and deprecated, with the
last release 1.1.4 from 2013.

Inside ptxdist, iw 3.14 was the last official user of LIBNL, all
other packages use LIBNL3. With the update to iw 5.3, this was
switched to LIBNL3, too.
All other packages already switched to libnl version 3 (ptxdist rule
"libnl3") for a long time, and so is the year-old recommendation of
libnl mainline.

Therefore move libnl to staging, and schedule for removal.
