blog-2.35-1.1 RPM for x86_64

From OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for x86_64

The blogd daemon determines the real underlying character device of
/dev/console. Blogd spawns a pty/tty pair to reconnect the current
/dev/console with the slave of the pty/tty pair. During writing
information from this slave to the real character device a ring
buffer is used to hold the information for writing it to an existing
logging file.

Changelog

* Mon Apr 28 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.35
    * Make s390 3215 console work that is use EPOLLOUT|EPOLLONESHOT
      to control if we can write to ttyS0 in nonblocking mode and if
      not reenable EPOLLOUT|EPOLLONESHOT.
    * At boot set for ttyS0 via vmcp API nonblocking MORE mode with
      `0 0'.  It beeps but boots.
  - Remove patches now upstream
    * blog-3215.patch
    * blog-install.patch
* Thu Apr 17 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Add patch blog-3215.patch
    * Try to avoid blocking mode of 3215 console on s390x as holding
      the output at `MORE' stops blogd, that is that it can not see
      any messages over its socket like switch of the root file system.
* Thu Apr 17 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Add patch blog-install.patch
    * Fixes install problems
    * Use module-setup.sh to install in BUILDROOT
* Wed Apr 16 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.34
    * Make it work on s390x (still no 3215 console)
      This is a bug fix release.  But still no support in conmode
      3215 as there is a race triggered by using conmode 3215.
      The order of the systemd units seems to change with this
      console mode.
* Fri Apr 11 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Use rpm-config-SUSE instead of suse-module-tools for suse version
    above 1550 and add code for the missing macros for older
    distributions like leap 15.6
* Thu Apr 10 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - The suse-module-tools are required at build otherwise blog
    is not in the initrd
* Thu Apr 03 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.32
    * Better 3270 console support, use uevent below /sys file system
* Wed Apr 02 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.31
    * Handel BS on password prompt as well
    * Drop spining code as systemd uses clear to end of line
      escape sequence (hard coded!) for its cylon lines.
  - blog: again suggest blog-plymouth
* Mon Mar 31 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.30
    * The asking variable is not shared

    * Make spinner support UTF-8 multibyte conform.
    * Spinner lines of system still not handled.
* Fri Mar 28 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Update to version 2.29
    * Make sure that password prompt is seen Latest
      Use a temporary buffer to be silent during asking passwords.
      And stop system console output during password questions
      only if temporary buffer becomes short. As well as do coloring
      on /dev/ttysclp0 for S390.
  - Drop patch.patch as now upstream
* Fri Mar 28 2025 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
  - Modify temporary patch patch.patch
    * Use a temporary buffer to be silent during asking passwords
