MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for curl-quiche-git [2]:

Unused, badly packaged, unneeded.

Executes git clone in prepare(), to fetch CloudFlare's quiche library,
recursively, with its boringssl git submodule repo (the latter is
Google's somewhat experimental fork of openssl.)

BoringSSL's statically built libcrypto.a and libssl.so are used in
this curl build, but still the PKGBUILD erroneously lists 'openssl' in
depends.

Also the pkgname is not good enough: it should reference 'boringssl'
too, not just 'quiche', to differentiate from default Arch curl and
AUR/curl-git build.

Now upsteam openssl supports the QUIC protocol natively, and so does
the stable curl release in repo - doesn't need BoringSSL and the
quiche library for it.


As for AUR usage, or the lack thereof:
