libsoup 3 porting TODO
Below is a list of upstreams known to use libsoup in some way. These will all need porting in order to do away with libsoup 2 (not all by us, of course). Some of them are trivial (like only using SoupURI, in these cases libsoup dependency can be dropped entirely) while others are more complicated.

- anjuta: has a plugin that needs webkit, but not linked to soup
- AppStream: switched to curl in the most recent release
- evolution-data-server: optioally depends on libgdata
- evolution: exposes libsoup through others' linkage (possibly affects other software, e.g. bijiben, but currently unknown)
- farstream: does not actually use libsoup nor webkit, carries in linkage through gupnp-igd
- fwupd: has soup-session compat bit which can/will be removed
- gnome-builder: maybe harmless, as libsoup is only used in some plugins
- nyxt: does not directly use libsoup but still links to it through webkit
- remmina: depends on both soup and webkit but in different plugins
- rhythmbox: only through plugins, maybe harmless
- uhttpmock: optionally needed by libgdata for tests
- geary: upstream removed dependency on libsoup
- libreset: unmaintained project likely never to be merged, master not even in a releasable state
