...
The Haiku recipe seems to detect a .git directory somewhere, even though
they are building from a tarball. So, check instead for the presence of
nano's release script, which ought to be present only in a git checkout,
not in a released tarball.

build: stop distributing a nano.spec file

We do not provide an RPM package. And distros like Fedora, Mageia,
and Suse have their own spec files -- they don't need ours. And in
case anyone would like to create their own RPM package from nano,
they can look at the spec files of those distros.

build: restrict the use of --with-slang to together with --enable-tiny
...
Slang contains bugs that get triggered when resizing the terminal,
or rather: when its existing data structures get reinitialized.
Avoid those bugs by forcing the exclusion of the resizing code
when nano is configured with --with-slang.
(The only reason for not entirely eliminating the support for Slang
is to allow Debian to build a tiny nano against Slang for on their
install image.)
