Correct. As mentioned, I'm expecting that the use of the Python curses module minimizes or eliminates any issues. I just want to be sure that there aren't any issues with major terminal types that fit the usage scenarios of the Text Installer. That said, I'm not sure I see a significant usage scenario for xtermc/xterm-color in a Text Installer - please correct me if I'm making wrong assumptions here, though. - Keith > > > On Oct 15, 2009, at 10:16 AM, Glenn Lagasse wrote: > >> * Keith Mitchell (Keith.Mitchell at Sun.COM) wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> The Text Installer, being built on the curses module of Python, is >>> expected to work on most terminal types 'by default,' with the >>> expectation that the underlying Python curses module, Ncurses >>> library, and terminfo data will correctly handle the calls used. >>> With that in mind, there are three terminal types that will get >>> explicit testing: >>> >>> sun-color >>> vt100 >>> xterm* >>> >>> *xterm getting tested is a side effect of developing the Text >>> Installer from a gnome desktop, and frequently running it from a >>> gnome-terminal. >>> >>> My question is, are there any other major terminals that deserve >>> explicit testing? >> >> xterm-color and probably xtermc. >> >> Cheers, >> >> -- >> Glenn >> _______________________________________________ >> caiman-discuss mailing list >> caiman-discuss at opensolaris.org >> http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss >
