Douglas Creager commented on AVRO-1769:
---------------------------------------
This looks good, though the FindJansson module is pretty old. Jansson ships a
pkg-config file, so you could use {{pkg_check_modules(JANSSON jansson>=2.3)}}
instead, like we do for lzma/xz. That has the added benefit of having CMake
verify that the Jansson that we find meets our >=2.3 version requirement.
> Depend on external libjansson instead of a bundled copy

> To fix AVRO-1691 we need to update to a newer version of Jansson. However,
> rather than updating the version of Jansson that is bundled with Avro-C, this
> would be a good time to switch to a dynamically linked version. As
> [~edenhill] pointed out, libjansson is widely available in distributions
> nowadays.
