Re: Portable curses
ncurses is available in pkgsrc for those who need/desire it. Having it in base... well, I know I am biassed but it does mean that we potentially have a monoculture when it comes to curses. I wouldn't really term it "portable" more like "the same bugs everywhere" which is not really the same :) - Original Message - From: "Cág" To: Cc: Sent:Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:19:36 -0500 Subject:Portable curses "NetBSD is one of the last operating systems (or even the last one?) not using ncurses." I think it should be more widespread. There's already a third-party port (https://github.com/sabotage-linux/netbsd-curses), maybe there should be a tarball somewhere on NetBSD.org? -- caóc

That's exactly what I meant, and lack of official releases makes it less popular I think. It can find a use in some lightweight distributions, and for those who don't want to mess with ncurses, which I find a bit fat to my tastes :) -- caóc

Re: Libreoffice after upgrade to NetBSD 8.0
I wasn’t sure if it was a pkgin issue or something else, but I have run into this problem just installing packages using pkgin without having pkgsrc installed. But if the solution is to run “make deinstall clean” in devel/boost-headers, doesn’t that require that pkgsrc be installed on the system? If that’s the case then what is causing the problem when it occurs while installing from the pre-build binary collections? Is it an inconsistency in the binary collection?
Re: Portable curses
Ah, sorry, my bad. The NetBSD curses sources are pretty much self-contained though it does reach over to terminfo during the build so just tar'ing up src/lib/libcurses and src/lib/libterminfo should be sufficient. - Original Message - From: "Martin Husemann" To:"Brett Lymn" Cc:"Cág" , Sent:Wed, 8 Aug 2018 09:27:35 +0200 Subject:Re: Portable curses On Wed, Aug 08, 2018 at 09:47:29AM +0930, Brett Lymn wrote: > ncurses is available in pkgsrc for those who need/desire it.
