Problem description

update package for SLES10 SP1 (#236771)
disabled libedit for SLES10 SP1
update to version 0.48:
- Unbreak -l -s in the server, which was broken in 0.47.
additional changes from 0.47:
- Add -L option to the server to run standalone without detaching from the shell.
- Parallel make fix.
update to version 0.46:
- Minor portability improvements.
additional change from 0.45: Add -l (literal) option to the client, to override the special treatment of the colon (:) character as a hostname separator.
replaced tftp-hpa-0.43_syntax.diff with tftp-hpa-0.46_colon_check.patch: restore a behavior which was broken with 0.35
merged tftp-hpa-0.43_signdness.patch with tftp-hpa-0.43_bcopy_secfix.patch. new patch: tftp-hpa-0.46_bcopy_secfix.patch.
added tftp-hpa-0.46_libedit.patch: Build against libedit to enable lineediting support.
update to version 0.44:
- Allow the client to specify a range of local port numbers, just like the server can.
- Fix sending SIGHUP to update the regular expression table.
update to version 0.43:
- Fix double-free error on ^c in client.
- Try to deal with clients that send TFTP requests to broadcasts (apparently some recent Sun boxes do this instead of using the address told by DHCP. Bad Sun! Bad Sun!)
- Portability fixes.
removed first chunk from tftp-hpa-0.40.diff and renamed it to tftp-hpa-0.43_include_sys_params.patch. the first chunk was fixed upstream.
patches rediffed and renamed: tftp-bcopy-secfix.diff -> tftp-hpa-0.43_bcopy_secfix.patch tftp-hpa-0.40.readline.diff -> tftp-hpa-0.43_readline.diff tftp-hpa-0.40-syntax.diff -> tftp-hpa-0.43_syntax.diff
added tftp-hpa-0.43_signdness.patch: fixed signedness warnings which where mostlikely caused by the bcopy fixes.
