Package: ncurses Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'm currently using rxvt-unicode as my primary x-terminal-emulator, as it has exactly those features I need, and nothing more. I love it, except for one thing... it's rather new(ish), and many hosts do not have a termcap entry for it yet. As a result, ncurses fails to initialize in most cases--and those programs that do work do so by assuming I have vt100 or something, which is horrible. It'd be nice if I could say something along the lines of "I'm really working from rxvt-unicode; but if you don't know that, then you can use a generic xterm termcap entry, which for all practical matters is really the same thing". Something like TERM=rxvt-unicode:xterm would be great. I didn't see whether something like that is available by looking at the docs that I found, but perhaps I missed it; in that case, a pointer would be nice ;-) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
