Bug#646761: libncurses5-dev: header files differ across architectures

2011-10-26 Thread Thomas E. Dickey

Quoting Sven Joachim svenj...@gmx.de:


Package: libncurses5-dev
Version: 5.9-2
Severity: normal
User: debian-d...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

When I marked the -dev packages as Multi-Arch: same, I naively assumed
that the header files would be identical across architectures.  A check
of libncurses5-dev:kfreebsd-i386 and libncurses5-dev:i386 reveals that
this is actually not the case:


...the generated-by stuff is a build-artifact that doesn't really matter,
but the termio/termios stuff is hard to eliminate, since it in turn is
eliminating some work by the applications that use the header files.

I suppose it should not be too difficult to eliminate these differences,
but it needs some investigation.


The alternative would be to make the generated config.h (ncurses_cfg.h)
included by each of the public header files, and to include that from
another place (architecture-dependent).

Bug#645736: Please hide xterm and uxterm icons from the GNOME menu

2011-10-18 Thread Thomas E. Dickey

Quoting Fabian Greffrath fab...@greffrath.com:


Package: xterm
Version: 276-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

a typical GNOME desktop has gnome-terminal installed and this should be the
most prominent terminal application known to its users. Since   
version 276-1 the
xterm package provides another two icons to start other terminal   
applications,
that are not at all integrated into the GNOME desktop, though. While  
 I have no

doubt these two additional starters are valuable in desktop environments that
do not provide their own terminal application, they are simply confusing and
redundant in GNOME. Thus, please cosider adding a line   
NotShowIn=GNOME to the

two corresponding desktop files.


I saw that in Ubuntu #129041; however a better fix would be to distribute
the desktop files in a separate package, e.g., xterm-desktop, which
depends on xterm.  There's no argument to the fact that people who would
install that would get what they're asking for, without being filtered
through the biases of the gnome developers.

Bug#626153: ncurses-base: incorrect khome and kend for xterm

2011-05-09 Thread Thomas E. Dickey

Quoting Tanguy Ortolo tanguy+deb...@ortolo.eu:


Package: ncurses-base
Version: 5.9-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

I seems that the terminfo entry for xterm has incorrect khome and kend:
khome=\EOH, kend=\EOF.


The xterm terminfo (according to convention), uses the string
passed when the cursor-application mode is set.  You're probably
assuming that would be the same at the command-line.
