(on -CURRENT and -STABLE) You would seem to be in the minority. Better the minority set WITH_SLANG than the majority have to edit their environments or specify USE_NCURSES :) > Did the maintainer or committer actually test to see if Luigi's claim > is accurate?

For what it's worth, when the port switched over to slang, the mutt lists received a good deal more "wtf are all my colours wrong?" mails. Certainly I can confirm that ncurses seems to get by with a default environment, where as slang wants COLORFGBG setting and will throw a tantrum (by screwing up your colours) if it's not there. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ - Accuracy, n.: The vice of being right To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
