>Number: 150620 >Category: bin >Synopsis: Please include utility programs for ncurses >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Sep 16 11:20:00 UTC 2010 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Pascal Stumpf >Release: 8-STABLE >Organization: >Environment: >Description: At the moment, the source for these programs resides in src/contrib/ncurses/progs. However, they’re being neither built nor installed. I think people should not be forced to install the port just for these small progs. There’s been a patch submitted in bin/71801 but not committed. (And I don’t think it’s a valid solution to just point people to the port/package when the sources are already in base, ready to be built without too much effort.) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
