[PATCH 0/1] Update ncurses

[PATCH 0/1] Update ncurses

[Tom Rini]

This updates ncurses to 5.9.  While less of a deal for oe-core where we
had the patch we applied on top of 5.7 mirrored and referenced that
openembedded.master did not and the patch recently went away.  Fortunately
there's now a 5.8 and 5.9 release of ncurses and our 5.7 + patch was
close to 5.8 making this an easy update.

[PATCH 1/1] ncurses: Update to 5.9

[Tom Rini]

The previous 5.7 release was relatively close to 5.8 due to it bringing
in a patch to sync with upstream work-in-progress.  We skip over the
5.8 release and move to 5.9.

Wrong link?  That reverse applies to ncurses 5.9 release. But
regardless, is ncurses something we need to be tracking top of tree for?
 It seems like we needed to for 5.7 since there had been a lot going on
without a release but that seems to have changed now.

those patches usually contain critical bug fixes including security updates
so it will be of interest to keep track of it

Well, it doesn't currently.  And while I agree we need to do a good job,
everywhere, of keeping track of security updates, I don't think we
should move back to depending on a site that frequently removes patches.

That still leaves the problem of there not being a valid patch there at
the moment.  And I still don't see why ncurses needs to be in the bucket
of recipes we track the scm for rather than relying on the latest stable
release.

It's invalid at the moment, yes.  But you haven't explained why ncurses
needs to be in the bleeding edge bucket.  Usually this is for stuff that
hasn't really reached a stability point.

It does not have to be but those patches are cumulative fixed that are done
on top of a release. I am sure we will also run into the problems those will

Can someone summarise what the benefits of these patches are? I'm
trying to figure out whether we lose anything due to this upgrade or
not...

That can be said for just about every recipe we have.  It sounds like
you're suggesting we need _svn recipe or similar recipe for ncurses as
well.  I still don't see why ncurses is special in this regard and ask
that when you see a worthwhile patch for ncurses 5.9 that you do another
pull request.  I'm just trying to keep oe-core in sync with
openembedded.master.

The patches we applied to 5.7 are part of the 5.8 release and 5.9 of
course replaces 5.8.  The invisible-island.net patch sets are things
taken from the official source repo and put out there for use.

Those patches are not same as all patches that would be applied to say
svn version these are fixes on top of a release e.g. 5.9 I was merely
suggesting that your upgrade patch is fine please see if there already
are some fixes on top of 5.9 that we need
thats all

It sounds like these patches are more like tracking an SCM rather than a
source of specific security patches or critical updates.

I think it might be wise to note this location in the recipe as a
comment (can someone please send an updated patch) but I don't think we
should be including these patches by default, particular if upstream are
making regular releases again.

Cheers,

Richard
