I have been meaning up update the curl packages to 7.16.x for a while,
however, I have held off because a new feature in curl is support for
transfers over ssh (scp:// and sftp:// URLs.) However this support
requires a recent libssh2, and until recently there had not been a
release of this library in a while so that meant using a CVS version.
libssh2 0.15 was finally released a couple of days ago, so I'd like to
package it, then I can release updated curl/libcurl versions that use
it.
The project is relatively new as far as I know and not in any stable
distro (but I haven't checked exhaustively), so it will likely need 5
votes.
