A little off topic, but is there a howto (for dummies) or instruction sheet somewhere that spells out how to "apply the rollup patch". A couple of months ago I wanted to try updating ncursesw, but got stalled with just what patch to download and what to do with it.
only briefly - here:
http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#where_patches
Like this (procedure hasn't changed in a while):
The rollup patches include all patches through the cited version. You
must apply them to the base release, e.g.,
zcat ncurses-4.1.tar.gz |tar xf -
cd ncurses-4.1
sh ../patch-4.1-4.2.shThe ".sh" file contains uuencoded/gzip'd patches. The uuencoding is a problem for some (Redhat for instance moved that to sharutils package
which isn't part of the base system). There's a bzip2'd version of the
rollup patch.
