[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] glib-networking: depend on target ca-certificates.

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Adam, All,

Thomas, question for you bbelow...

As discussed on IRC, this is not the correct fix, because that path is
used at runtime.

The proper fix would be to fix their meson.build to behave in
cross-compilation.

It is to be noted that upstream no longer has the issue, because they
changed the way the handle certifcate trust store:
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib-networking/commit/f1c8feee014007cc913b71357acb609f8d1200df

... but we can't backport this as a fix, though... :-(

Thomas: maybe we can look at updating it instead of trying to fix it?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
