Git Package Dependency

Git Package Dependency

[Chris Bozic]

FYI,

I just noticed that when I have a new install of cygwin and the only
package I select to install is git (any version), the required
libcurl-4 package isn't installed along with git.  This causes any git
command in a cygwin terminal to return without executing.  (Running
from Windows "cmd" reveals a pop-up indicating that libcurl-4 is
missing.)  Once I install libcurl-4 from cygwin manually, git works
fine.

I've fixed the wrong setup.hint on sourceware for git-1.5.6-1.tar.bz2 
from libcurl3 to libcurl4. It will be on the mirrors soon.

Eric, please update your local copy also.

Btw, prev: git-1.5.5.1-1.tar.bz2 requires libcurl3.
We have no syntax for this. But anyone who is reverting to prev, will 
most likely not have deleted libcurl3.

Also, I just noticed that git-gui and gitk require tcltk wich doesn't
get installed by default.
