I downloaded and looked at that patch, but when was it ever the policy here to do feature addition patches? Especially when it's a) a large non-trivial patch b) peppered with comments about how things aren't working yet c) upstream tried to take it but ended up reverting it when it broke things.
I'll be happy to have that functionality if the proper channels ever accept it, but sorry -- I really don't think accepting it here is a good idea.
Well, you are the boss here. So be it.
This notwithstanding I just checked: the last availability of newt/whiptail in Anaconda (in text installation mode) for Fedora was in Fedora 16. And of course Persian is not available in this case (but it is indeed available in Debian text installer using newt/whiptail with the bidi patch).
Since then and until Fedora 25 at least the text installation mode is through tmux (dunno why) and really ugly, but its usage is strongly discouraged anyway, so my guess is that they have lost interest for newt/whiptail (and also for text installation). Just sayin'

On my slackware64-14.2, I recompiled curl with ipv6 and http2 support. For http2, I had to install jansson (required by nghttp2) and nghttp2 (required by curl) from slackbuilds.org.
Then I had these options in curl.Slackbuild
There's no need to add --enable-ipv6 to the curl.SlackBuild, as it's already a default option.
Many versions ago, ipv6 wasn't a default option, so I added this option and didn't check it was default now (since 7.39.0 - November 5 2014). Good to know. Thanks.
