Once upon a time, Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> said:
The installed soname is exactly the same as the regular libcurl
version, making them interchangeable. The .minimal suffix is removed by
rpm at packaging time using RemovePathPostfixes:
That seems like a terrible idea, to have to shared libraries in the
distribution with the same soname but different functionality. Seems
like it would be much better to have a different soname, and have rpm
just use the minimalized version or change from linking against it to
dlopen()ing it (and being able to choose the minimal or regular).
