'check' is no longer required in latest release, unless you enable tests. Don't know where you get the source of it (the package name on fedora is check-devel) and the name was definitely not chosen by me.

The first release of libosinfo is out!
What is libosinfo?
libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about
operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can
support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs
to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a
hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all
common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python
(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.
libosinfo is Free Software and licenced under LGPLv2+.

I guess you didn't do that just for fun so what is that used for at the moment?

I tried to configure libosinfo but it says 'package 'check' not found'
What is check and where do I find the source for it?
BTW calling a package check is insane. Googling gave me 530,000,000 hits!
