Changelog

* Mon Aug 23 17:00:00 2004 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin{%}redhat{*}com> 1:5.4-3
- add missing sharutils buildprereq (needed for rollup patch, maybe #130551)
* Fri Aug 20 17:00:00 2004 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin{%}redhat{*}com> 1:5.4-2
- mingetty sets $TERM to 'linux', so switching between monochrome and color by
  playing with the 'console' alias gets us nowhere; back to noarch for now
  (Bill Nottingham)
* Thu Aug 19 17:00:00 2004 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin{%}redhat{*}com> 1:5.4-1
- update to current upstream termcap, building to match the most current
  ncurses available (#116330)
- termcap used to be noarch, but that is impossible with per-arch patches (this
  could come back to haunt us in multilib environments if care is not taken),
  so make it arch-specific again
- make 'console' an alias for either 'linux' or 'linux-m' depending on whether
  or not the usual console supports color -- this means 'linux' for most
  arches, and 'linux-m' for sparc*
- add a definition for 'bterm' (bogl-bterm installs its own terminfo file)
- use terminfo source instead of termcap source for 'kon2' (kon2 installs its
  own terminfo file)
- approximate ncurses's --with-xterm-new as a local %{which_xterm} define
