[Buildroot] Minicom git Repo and new version

[Giulio Benetti]

Hello everybody,

Adam(Minicom Maintainer) in Cc set up a repository for Minicom here:
https://salsa.debian.org/minicom-team/minicom

Some fix and support s485 has been added since last package version.
Most of all, now it's under git,
so I wanted to ask if it would help if I create a patch managing Minicom 
package as a git(possibly using github helper) and bumping version to 
the last git commit.
Or create new package based on git using same version as now.
Or wait for Adam to tag a real version to do everything once.

Thank to everybody
Cheers
Giulio Benetti

Yes, you can send an update to use this new Git repository. It will of
course be even better when Adam does a tagged release, but in the mean
time, we can use a random Git commit especially if there's a good
justification behind it (RS485 support for example).

Thanks,

Thomas

Ok, then I'm going to send patch for git with latest commit.

Thank you
