[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH v4 4/5] build: enable cmake in curl build

[Igor Munkin]

Sasha,

Thanks for the patch! There is one question and several nits below,
please consider them.

Minor (again): IMHO, it's better to split these lines as you did in the
commit you're referring below.

Minor: The wording is nice and quite clear, feel free to drop the code
snipped above.

Minor: This doesn't relate to Gentoo per se. As I mentioned here[1], the
issue occurred as a result of moving curl build from autotools to CMake:
CMAKE_USE_LIBSSH2 flag is enabled by default, but --with-libssh2 is not.

Minor: This doesn't relate to Gentoo per se. As I mentioned here[1], the

CMAKE_USE_LIBSSH2 flag is enabled by default, but --with-libssh2 is not.

Anyway, I see no additions related to this inconsistency. Do other CMake
defaults match the corresponding autotools values?
