(Closes: #54874).
* Provide rxvt-basic as an alias to rxvt-m instead of from a different
source.

in debian/xterm.ti (Closes: #89222).
* New upstream version (Closes: #74749, #75740, #85729).
* debian/control.in: Remove dependencies on essential ncurses-base
(lintian). Also, don't make libncurses5 depend on itself.
* Actually update the Maintainer this time.

* Freshen config.guess/config.sub (Closes: #81879).
* Mach terminfo entries available upstream (Closes: #68831).
* Add new xterm terminfo entry from XFree86 4.0.2
(Closes: #79295, #58850, #72236, #30567, #55146).

* New member of ncurses-maint, unfortunately...
* Non-maintainer upload.
* debian/mach-color.ti: Add pairs and op capabilities.
* Add signedness patch from Dan Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>
(closes:Bug#56646).
* Backout keyboard policy change to xterm-color on recommendation
of Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>.
* Update xterm.ti from Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org> (closes:Bug#55840).
* ncurses-base: Include /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-color ->
/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-color symlink (closes:Bug#56101,#55619).
* debian/rxvt.ti: Remove kf0 due to clash with kf10 (closes:Bug#56086).
* Closes:#54523 since ncurses-base is back.
* Make xterm-color conform to Debian keyboard policy too (closes:Bug#53871).
* Closes:#54140: User is a moron.
* Change Maintainer to "Joel Klecker <ncurses-maint@debian.org>".
* Revive ncurses-base.
- Add xterm-* used in fallbacks.
- Use --with-terminfo-dirs.
* Fix smcup/rmcup entries for xterm (closes:Bug#55146).
* Add patch for powerpc from Dan Jacobowitz (dan@debian.org).
* debian/rules: Zap --with-gpm.
* New maintainer: Debian ncurses Team <ncurses-maint@debian.org>.
* Transition plan as requested by Richard Braakman (release manager):
- Packages in base that use ncurses MUST be recompiled.
- Other packages SHOULD be recompiled.
* Hack configure to compile with -fPIC instead of -fpic
(aclocal.m4 modified too, but configure can't be regenerated without a
specially patched autoconf)
* Rename source package back to 'ncurses' (ncurses 4.2 becomes 'ncurses4.2').
* Revamp debian/rules.
* Use ncurses fallback mechanism, thereby eliminating ncurses-base.
- Add new xterm* terminfo from Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>.
* libncurses5-dev:
- Include libncurses++ and headers now that upstream installs them.
(closes:Bug#42357)
- Now depends on libncurses5 (= ${Source-Version) (closes:Bug#35422)
- Add devel symlinks for libtermcap for user convenience.
- Don't make /usr/include/ncurses symlink anymore.
* ncurses-bin:
- Move man5 and man7 man pages here (closes:Bug#20291).
- Bug #27607 apparently fixed upstream:
+ modify _nc_set_writedir() to set a flag in _nc_tic_dir() to prevent
it from changing the terminfo directory after chdir'ing to it.
Otherwise, a relative path in $TERMINFO would confuse tic (from a
Debian bug report). (closes:Bug#27067)
* ncurses-term: Replaces ncurses-base.
- Close silly bug (closes:Bug#49483).
* Ported the changes made to 4.2 to 5.0
* Changed ncurses to ncurses5
* Non-maintainer release.
* Correct monochrome terminal support (whoops!)
* Non-maintainer release.
* Add Mach terminal support.
* Non-maintainer release.
* Add (>= 4.2-3.1) to shlibs for safer upgrades.
* Non-maintainer release.
* Rebuild for glibc 2.1.
* Restored ncurses-intro manuals to libncurses-dev documentation (#?)
* Removed empty /usr/bin from libncurses (#29022)
* /usr/lib/libncurses.so is no longer a relative symlink (#29679)
* Added support for linux-arm into config.guess (#29927)
* Add screen entries to ncurses-base conffiles list
* Restore examples directory to libncurses4-dev
* If TERMINFO_DIRS ends with a colon, search default paths (#27605, #25248)
(it was always supposed to do that, but now it actually works)
* Debian rxvt now clears screen on rmcup (#22289)
* ncurses-term: Added xterm-color symlink to color_xterm (#16804 et al)
* First release of new ncurses into main distribution
* Integrated jdassen's remake of debian/rules, now uses debhelper
* Updated security patches
* Experimental (lightly tested, known problems) build of new ncurses
* -pic package dropped (no longer needed)
* Rebuilt so that dialog and sc do not coredump.
* Previous upload got rejected. Set distribution to "stable" instead of
"hamm-updates".
* [ncurses/{read_termcap,read_entry}.c] Security fix for setuid operation:
switch to user's priviledges on file operations.
(based on ncurses-1.9.9e-setuid.patch courtesy of Red Hat).
* Non-maintainer upload.
* The debugging version in ncurses3.4-dbg was not actually compiled with -g.
This makes it rather unuseful. It's due to an error in the configure.in,
which refers to variables ac_cv_prog_gcc_g and ac_cv_prog_gxx_g to check
if "-O2 -g" is supported. This should be ac_cv_prog_cc_g and
ac_cv_prog_cxx_g instead. Fixed.
* debian/xterm.ti had a "blink@" entry for the xterm terminal, which
cancels the blink capability ("mb"). Since it has no "use" line,
the use resolver is never called for it, which leaves the "CANCEL"
value in the compiled info for xterm.
tgetstr() does not check for cancelled values, so it returns the
CANCELLED_STRING value which is not a valid pointer.
Fixed by having tgetstr() return NULL for cancelled values.
This fixes the bug that causes screen to crash in an xterm (bug#23998).
* For reasons that I don't understand, using ncurses3.4 >= 1.9.9g-8.1 with
ncurses3.4-dev 1.9.9g-8.6 causes lxdialog (kernel's make menuconfig)
to segfault. Changed the dependency to >= Source-Version. (Fixes
release-critical #24392).
* More manpages fixes (Fixes #24400):
* [aclocal.m4] Rewrote the manpages fixing code somewhat so that
references like "\fBcurses\fR(3X), " get handled correctly
* [man/curs_termcap.3x] Minor changes, so that references get translated
properly.
* [man/man_db.renames] Added terminfo.\*n and curs_terminfo.\*n .
* Non-maintainer upload.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): install new xterm and xterm-debian
terminfos provided by Branden Robinson <branden@purdue.edu>.
* sigh -8.4 had several problematic leftovers from debugging in it:
* - built with assertions and without _REENTRANT .
- wrong fix in the library code. (this broke "screen").
* Despite the bad karma with -8.4, I still feel strongly that this should
go into frozen, due to the amount and severity of the bugs it fixes.
* [progs/tput.c] Corrected the handling of error returns from setupterm()
(to the way ncurses 4.2 does it).
Fixes the "tput dumps core on unknown TERM" bug. (Fixes #5600).
* [progs/toe.c] Set pointers to NULL after free-ing (like ncurses 4.2
does) This fixes the "toe segfaults on megatek" bug. (Fixes #22280).
* Fixed manpages and their cross-references:
(Fixes #2806, #5363, #6822, #7889, #9977, #15120, #15637, #15088,
#10064, #18669).
* [aclocal.m4] Fixed the generation of the manpage transformation sed
script so that it also transforms references like
\fBcurs_refresh\fR(3X) . Warning: attempts to understand this code may
cause psychological trauma due to exposure to quoting hell.
* [man/{curs_bkgd,resizeterm,wresize}.3x] Removed otherwise empty "."
lines between .TH and .SH lines which caused whatis parse to fail.
* [debian/rules, debian/routines.pl] Added links for the ncurses and form
routines to the appropriate manpages.
* Include tutorial (misc/ncurses-intro.{doc,html) in the development package.
* [misc/ncurses-intro.doc] Corrected umlaut in Juergen's first name.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* The fix wrt "bool" introduced in -8.1 causes problems when a >= -8.1
-dev package is used with a < -8.1 runtime package.
Added (>= 1.9.9g-8.1) to Depends: ncurses3.4 to prevent this situation
from reoccuring (Fixes #22475).
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fixes the overlap between hamm/ncurses3.4-dbg 1.9.9g-8 and
bo/ncurses3.0-dev 1.9.9e-1 (usr/lib/lib{form,menu,ncurses,panel}_g.a)
which Richard Braakman reported on debian-devel; used "Replaces:"
rather than "Conflicts:" (there is an implicit conflict already).
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Added a new xterm terminfo entry: kbs changed from ^H to \177
and kdch1 from \177 to \E[3~ (per policy) (addresses part of #21914).
* Make /usr/lib/libn?curses.so absolute rather than symbolic links
(as per policy) (fixes #21913).
* aclocal.m4: Invoke gzip with '-9'.
* Generated "configure" with up to date autoconf; the old configure needed
libg++-dev (the test for handling of type bool used <builtin.h>). Thus,
"bool" is properly detected (fixes #20534, #17763).
* Updated shlibs to >= this version, just in case the bool issue affects
compatibility.
* Fixed some file/directory permissions.
* Hacked LD_LIBRARY_PATH in rules (#16203)
* New rxvt entry (#16363, #16430, #17457, #17676)
* New screen entry (#17675)

* No longer install shared libraries executable (#15479)
* Munged rxvt entry a bit more (#13996)
* kterm entry inherits from older xterm now (#14726)
* Removed ich(1) from linux, screen, vt320 (#15127)
* Changed khome and kend on xterm (#13362, #6100)
* Made all critical terminfo entries conffiles (#13439)
* Added config.h to examples directory (#13454)
* Patched lib_termcap to handle long id strings (#10588)
* Removed bogus examples Makefile (#12543)
* Replaced broken rxvt entry (#13171, #13321)
* Removed broken xterm-color symlink, and no longer mention it in
ncurses-base description
* Updated to standard 2.3.0.0
* Moved changelog to changelog.Debian (#10757)
