Description Thomas Faber 2012-11-10 12:11:12 UTC
This dependency was added at some point because the ebuild used ed to hack away some header bug.
The ebuild no longer uses ed though. It works just fine without this dependency.

At least in my tree, this currently applies to these:
curl-7.25.0-r1.ebuild
curl-7.26.0.ebuild
curl-7.27.0-r3.ebuild
curl-7.28.0.ebuild
curl-7.28.0-r1.ebuild

Reproducible: Always

Sounds right, but I'm too lazy to make 100% sure, so I just removed it from the unstable versions:

    curl-7.28.0-r1
    curl-7.28.0
    curl-7.27.0-r3

Please test.  In about two more weeks I'm going to stablereq curl-7.28.0-r1 so I don't see a point in carefully backporting this improvement.

All three build and run fine for me (AMD64), and no longer pull in ed.
Thanks!
