Would people be open to the idea of a sysutils/screen-ncurses port that depends on devel/ncurses instead of ncureses in base? The reason for this is there are screen.* terminfo entries in devel/ncurses that don't exist in termcap(5). People who want that extra functionality would be advised to install the alternative pkg or build the sysutils/screen port with the appropriate option. Or, simply change the default from whatever ncurses is available to always install devel/ncurses. People could always select one of the other options. Personally, I'm not enamoured with this approach. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: <cy@nwtime.org> Web: https://nwtime.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
