readline 8.2 patches readline82-002 through -007

[Marty Jack]

New patches.

[Xi Ruoyao]

What are those for? Is there an upstream advisory saying we should build readline with them (then curiously why they don't just release 8.2.1?)

[Marty Jack]

This is the way bash and readline have published updates for years. It is only very recently that bash has begun releasing consolidated updates as tarballs in between x.y releases. Readline updates also appear in bash because of the bundled copy.

As a result of this being the way they have published updates for years, the upstream advisory saying you should build readline with them is the existence of the patches in the patch directory. Feel free to confirm with Bruce.

I have created readline-8.2-upstream_fixes-2.patch to incorporate all the current patches. I will add it to the book tomorrow.

We should program the currency script to check for new patches then.

Or just create a ticket in 'hold' to check before each release.
