[arch-dev-public] [signoff] ncurses 5.6-8

Hi all,
I have been told that not including the libncurses.so.5 library breaks
"many, many, many" binary blobs so I had to re-include that in the
ncurses package. Building on Arch will still link to the wide-character
libraries. It does now mean that the total rebuild was not necessary
but given over two thirds of the packages rebuilt had some sort of
clean-up (license/arch/md5sum/man page) and that wide-character support
is good, it was not a complete waste.
So signoff both arches please. I would like to move these on Monday if
possible.
As a reminder of the [core] rebuilds that occured are:
bash
readline
dialog
gettext
grub
less
nano
procinfo
procps
psmisc
texinfo
util-linux-ng (see below)
vi (see below)
gpm
heimdal
initscrits
isdn4k-utils
links
netkit-telnet
For your information, the following packages were not just plain
rebuilds and so probably require more attention in signing off:
vi - bump to the latest patchset
util-linux-ng - Required update and switch to the newer cryptloop
support patch mentioned in an old comment in the previous PKGBUILD to build
Cheers,
Allan
