Dominique Leuenberger 381c5a6e7c Accepting request 509422 from Base:System
- Add Ncurses patch 20170708
  + add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
  + correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim). 
- This also for bug bsc#1047964 and bug bsc#1047965

- Add ncurses patch 20170701 (bsc#1046853, bsc#1046858)
  + modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
    variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
    application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
  + remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
    configuration; none is needed.
  + add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
  + improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
    fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
    not work (cf: 20160213).
  + the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
    reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
    reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
    showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
    addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
  + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
    (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
    + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
    + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
      one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
      treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
  + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
  + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
  + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
  + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes

  Versions of Ncurses Libraries
  =============================

There are several Ncurses Libraries which can be used for building
with an terminal based application.  The standard Ncurses Libraries
is given with ABI 5.9

       /usr/include/ncurses/*.h
       /usr/lib/libncurses.so  or /usr/lib64/libncurses.so
       /usr/lib/libform.so     or /usr/lib64/libform.so
       /usr/lib/libmenu.so     or /usr/lib64/libmenu.so
       /usr/lib/libpanel.so    or /usr/lib64/libpanel.so

and its header are installed in /usr/include/ncurses/ e.g.
ncurses.h.  For backward compatibility with simply older
programs the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h
will be also found in /usr/include/.  Use the output of

       ncurses5-config --cflags  for CFLAGS
       ncurses5-config --libs    for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with wide character support please use the
libraries with old ABI 5.9

       /usr/include/ncursesw/*.h
       /usr/lib/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so
       /usr/lib/libformw.so    or /usr/lib64/libformw.so
       /usr/lib/libmenuw.so    or /usr/lib64/libmenuw.so
       /usr/lib/libpanelw.so   or /usr/lib64/libpanelw.so

Use the output of

       ncursesw5-config --cflags for CFLAGS
       ncursesw5-config --libs   for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a thread safe version (also known as `reentrant') please
use the libraries with ABI 6.0

       /usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/*.h
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libncurses.so  or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncurses.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libform.so     or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libform.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenu.so     or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenu.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanel.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanel.so

together with the header files found at /usr/include/ncurses6/ncurses/
e.g. ncurses.h. For backward compatibility with simply older programs
the headers curses.h, ncurses.h, and term.h will be also found in
/usr/include/ncurses6/.  Use the output of

       ncurses6-config --cflags  for CFLAGS
       ncurses6-config --libs    for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS.
For a version with both wide character support and thread safe
please use the libraries with ABI 6.0

       /usr/include/ncurses6/ncursesw/*.h
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libncursesw.so or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libncursesw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libformw.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libformw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libmenuw.so    or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libmenuw.so
       /usr/lib/ncurses6/libpanelw.so   or /usr/lib64/ncurses6/libpanelw.so

Use the output of

       ncursesw6-config --cflags for CFLAGS
       ncursesw6-config --libs   for LDFLAGS

to extend the CFLAGS and the LDFLAGS. It should be noted that the ABI 6.0
is not only thread safe but also includes extended mouse support and in
case of the wide character version also extended color support.
