Would someone kindly upload a new version of curl to the sourceware mirrors for me?

Anyone... Robert? Corinna? Jason? CGF? Buehler?

I don't mean to be a pest, but I've requested this twice already over the last couple 
weeks and have seen no response. If my repackaging is not correct or should not have 
been done, could someone please let me know so I can fix it? If the curl-devel package 
needs to be voted in, I'll be happy to send a separate note, but it hardly seems 
necessary (to me).

The files are available as follows:

 Binary: http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.10.1-1-cygwin.tar.bz2
 Source: http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.10.1-1-cygwin-src.tar.bz2
 Devel:  http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-devel-7.10.1-1-cygwin.tar.bz2

As always, I'll need you to remove the "-cygwin" from the filenames. 

The "-devel" package is new. I've split out all the man3 pages, the static libraries, 
the header files and the sample libcurl programs into a "-devel" package. Here is a 
setup.hint that I think will do:

  category: Web Libs Devel
  requires: cygwin openssl curl
  sdesc: "(lib)cURL headers, static libraries, developer docs and samples"
  ldesc: "curl-devel is the developer-oriented (non-run-time) parts
  of the cURL package. It includes header files, static libraries,
  example source code snippets, and the libcurl man pages."

The parts I'm not too sure of:

Category - I am assuming "Devel" is appropriate for this. Is it also normal to include 
the categories of the non-devel binary package (Web and Libs)?

Requires - should curl-devel require "curl"? It seems to me that the curl-devel 
package isn't too useful without the curl package, but if you're developing against 
the static libs (instead of the DLL) I suppose it *could* be used without the curl 
binaries.


Please let me know once this has been completed so I can announce it.

Thanks,
