ok, we are hooked into the libflac6 transition, let's start the curl one. my wish is to upload curl 7.14.1 with the following package layout: - curl (OpenSSL, linked to libcurl-openssl.so.3) - libcurl3 (GnuTLS, soname: libcurl.so.3) - libcurl3-openssl (OpenSSL, soname: libcurl-openssl.so.3) - libcurl3-gssapi (OpenSSL, MIT Kerberos 5) - libcurl3-dev (OpenSSL, depends: libssl-dev) - libcurl3-openssl-dev (GnuTLS, depends: libgnutls-dev) - libcurl3-dbg this way libcurl3 and libcurl3-openssl can be contemporarily installed. curl command line depends on package libcurl3-openssl. BTW, is libcurl3-openssl legal or it should be libcurl-openssl3? any more comments? cheers domenico -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://people.debian.org/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
