Bugzilla Bug 157718

Looks like lots of depreciated interfaces to curl have been removed that not
everyone has prepared for.

Of note:
CURLOPT_MUTE -> http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2001-05/0067.html
CURLOPT_PASSWDDATA -> http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-10/0100.html

Does this actually break some packages in Gentoo land?

The packages listed in the dependency tree of this bug break with curl-7.16.0
or later. I'm hoping the php, pycurl and icecast packages can be make
curl-7.16.* compatible before I unmask curl.Others can have their dependency
changed to <net-misc/curl-7.16.0.

If you don't use these packages listed in the dependency tree feel free to
locally unmask it and you shouldn't have any problems.

fyi i'm waiting till curl-7.16.3 that fixes a number of faults I discovered.

FYI, I just had a conversation on #git about git over webdav, the current git
ebuilds (stable and unstable) with curl <7.16 will give the impression of
working when in fact git won't be pushing anything.

I'll be trying with the masked versions of curl and the upstream folks are
trying to work around the issue with older (but safer) curl commands.

I'll let you know the status of this.

Remi, curl-7.16.3 added for testing.

Everything works as intended with curl 7.16.3, upstream git has been patched to
die() when trying to push to a webdav server using an older curl. There doesn't
seem to be a workaround for earlier versions.

Thanks :)

unmasked.
