- Update from version 8.2 to 9.0
- Update of rootfile
- Remove gcc10 detection patch as this is now built into the source tarball
- Update hardening crash patch. The issue related to the gcc10 patch seems to suggest
that when that is fixed then the hardening crash patch is not required but it wasn't
100% clear. So I have left the patch in place as it only changes one line and if it
worked with the earlier versions then it should also work now. If it is decided that
it is not needed then it can always be removed at a future update.
- Changelog is massive with over 30000 lines.
vim provides fixed updates such as 8.2 and 9.0 but then issues very frequent patch
updates. For version 8.2 there are 5172 patch updates none of which have been applied
to IPFire. All of these are now built into version 9.0
https://vimhelp.org/version9.txt.html#new-9 provides the details of what is new with
version 9.0, including details of all the 5172 patches.
- Key thing for version 9.0 is that there is a new Vim9 script language which is not
backwards compatible. However the old legacy script language will continue to be
supported so all old scripts can continue to be used.
- Version 9.0 already has 48 patches released. The releases occur virtually every day
with several days having multiple patch releases.
- Once this 9.0 version of vim has been confirmed to work successfully by people
experienced in using vim (I struggle to remember the set of characters to press to
exit from an editing session), then my plan is to periodically submit an update of the
patches, although some may be missed out as they are not relevant for IPFire - such
as deleting Travis CI config and improving the recognition of some Visual Basic files.

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

the configure.ac has a bug that detects gcc-10 as gcc-1 and so not use
some quirks. Also there is a bug with FORTIFY-SOURCE=2 that crash
if the matchparen plugin is used (enabled by default).

Please note:
If this gets merged, the update process must deal with the otherwise remaining
files in '/usr/share/vim74' (~16 MB).

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)
