Hi,

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/ has
repositories with the most up-to-date (lib)curl packages for various
openSUSE / SLES versions for i386 and x86_64. It would be great to link
these from the "Linux - Suse" table on http://curl.haxx.se/download.html .

The packages are split as follows:
curl-$version-$release.$arch.rpm - the command-line tool
libcurl-devel-*.rpm - development files (no static library though)
libcurl4-*.rpm - the shared library

All the builds should have as many features as possible ;-)
$ curl --version
curl 7.18.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8g
zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.8 libssh2/0.18
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

For openSUSE 10.3 and Factory (to-be 11.0), it would be really cool to
link these "metapackages"
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/devel:libraries:c_c%2B%2B/openSUSE_10.3/curl.ymp
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/devel:libraries:c_c%2B%2B/openSUSE_10.3/libcurl-devel.ymp
instead of the rpm files, as but it's trickier to extract the version
number then...

Also, for all distros, it would be good to link the actual repository in
the rightmost column, like
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_10.2/
 .

thanks,
Michal
