Hi,
While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that ncurses could not be built reproducibly.
We have found that MKterminfo.sh included a trailing space in one
build test but not in the other. It is not quite clear to me what
triggers this behaviour, but there is a note claiming it to be the
locale difference (one build is in C and the other in a French UTF-8
locale).
The attached patch makes MKterminfo.sh strip trailing spaces from the
CAP file, which removes a source of non-determinism. Once applied,
ncurses can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.

Thanks,
~Niels

+Description: Strip leading whitespace in the terminfo manpage
+ In the reproducible build tests, the trailing space is
+ included in one build but not in the other.
+ .
+ It is not quite obvious to me what triggers this (difference in
+ locale being expected reason), but we can simply strip the space and
+ it works.
