## Description:

This update for blog fixes the following issues:

  * Update to version 2.38:
    * Silent debugging messages in epoll algorithm (bsc#1261699)
    * Make it work on 3215 console of s390 means no tcdrain() for 3215, no blocking writes, not more then 130 characters per line, no \r, finalize lines with \n. Nevertheless use a blocking read for password requests.
    * Make automatic CLEAR an kernel command line option with the parameter blog.timeout=0 (bsc#1261697)
  * Update to version 2.37:
    * Make release.sh active
    * Run klogctl with console massages off only once in the password asking processes on the main console device only
    * Clean up white spaces
    * This will help on high console I/O as now blogd uses its epoll event handler to monitor via a file descriptor open with pidfd_open the password asking child processes (bsc#1259547)
  * Update to version 2.36:
    * If SYS_pidfd_open is not defined use a fallback Include asm/unistd.h to get __NR_pidfd_open for the definition of SYS_pidfd_open.
    * Changes to let systemd find plymouth replacements which means to add the appropiate Alias in systemd ask password blog path and also in systemd-ask-password-blog.service with new Install sections.
    * Rework password asking method to be asynchronous
