[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES common/manager/qemu-server 0/4] fix #2077: remove dependency on Term::ReadLine

[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES common/manager/qemu-server 0/4] fix #2077: remove dependency on Term::ReadLine

[Fiona Ebner]

As a side-effect, this also fixes #6748.

Term::ReadLine would prompt and read from terminal even if
stdin/stdout are redirected, the new helper will use the redirected
channels. It also would underline the prompt, which the new helper
does not. And Term::ReadLine also has advanced editing and history
shortcuts.

For the prompts in pve-manager, not having the advanced features is
perfectly fine. For qm monitor, (advanced) users might be unhappy with
the change.

Other packages need a dependency bump for pve-common.

Or if we don't go ahead with pmgsh which also uses advanced features
from Term::ReadLine (will send patches for pmg shortly).
