Package changes for curl and libcurl

Focus mode
Package changes for curl and libcurl - Amazon Linux 2023

AL2023 separates out the common protocols and functionality of the curl and libcurl packages into curl-minimal and libcurl-minimal. This reduces the disk, memory, and dependency footprint for most users, and is the default package for AL2023 AMIs and containers.

If the full functionality of curl is required, for example for gopher:// support, run the following commands to install the curl-full and libcurl-full packages.

$ dnf swap libcurl-minimal libcurl-full
$ dnf swap curl-minimal curl-full
