Hi all,

We've had to mask cURL 7.88.0 in Gentoo (and I note Arch and Alpine have taken similar action)
due to a commit that causes broken HTTP/2 transfers impacting things like `cargo fetch`.

https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/10525
https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/commit/ed89ad7059e2ccf3d5bd9cd7bbde506ccc0bf6d8
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/1a9121ddab7ce24b861ff6f1d6c00539d30afa30

Nothing much to say about it otherwise, PRs awaiting upstream; it may be best to revert the offending commit
or wait for a new patch release if you're looking at updating cURL packages.

Cheers,

Matt
