Perhaps I should have, because /usr/bin/ogg123 is in fact linked to
cygcurl-2.dll, which would no longer exist. Since the DLL version was
bumped I'm going to assume that the ABI was changed too, so I guess it's
a good indication of the need for separate runtime packages.
Anyway, to deal with this I will make a libcurl2 that consists of the
cygcurl-2.dll from the current curl packages. Or if Corinna is feeling
generous she could just rebuild vorbis-tools, but I won't expect that.
Question: I have read Chuck W's emails on this in the past, but I just
want to confirm that the following is kosher. Can I simply *rename* the
current *source* package curl-7.11.1-1-src.tar.bz2 to
libcurl2-7.11.1-1-src.tar.bz2, and create a libcurl2-7.11.1-1.tar.bz2
containing just usr/bin/cygcurl-2.dll *without* using an external-source
tag? Since this is essentially a new package (since it has a new name)
I don't have to bump the -1, right? Then it would just be a matter of
editing vorbis-tool's setup.hint to call for libcurl2 correct?
