02-debian-backspace.diff Fix backspace key description in some terminfo entries Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de> not-needed debian 2022-12-26
02-debian-xterm.diff Debian changes to xterm* terminfo entries The "rep" feature has been removed from xterm-new and derived terminfo
descriptions, as it causes compatibility problems with older terminal
emulators.
.
The xterm-debian terminfo entry is provided as an alias for xterm, as
some ancient Debian systems used xterm-debian as $TERM.

03-debian-ncursesconfig-omit-L.diff Omit -L part from ncurses6{w,}-config output "ncurses6-config --libs" includes a "-L" part which is not needed
since the library is installed in a directory in the default linker
search path.
.
Upstream omits the -L part if $libdir is in a standard directory,
however the list of standard directories is determined at build time
and architecture dependent, breaking multiarch co-installability.
Until there is a way to obtain the multiarch path without running
dpkg-architecture our patch is not upstreamable.

fix_crash_on_very_long_tc-use_clause.diff Fix tic crash on very long tc/use clauses Correct limit-check when dumping tc/use clause via tic -I (report by
Gabriel Ravier), fix cherry-picked from the 20230121 upstream patchlevel.

fix-configure-root-args-option.diff Fix copy/paste error in configure.in Fix the --disable-root-access and --disableroot-environ configure
options. Due to a copy/paste error, the latter performs the actions
of the former, while the --disable-root-access option has no effect
at all.
Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de> yes 2023-05-01
debian-env-access.diff Change the --disable-root-environ configure option behavior By default, the --disable-root-environ option forbids program run by
the superuser to load custom terminfo entries. This patch changes
that to only restrict programs running with elevated privileges,
matching the behavior of the --disable-setuid-environ option
introduced in the 20230423 upstream patchlevel.
