I noticed Peter Wemm killed src/lib/libtmyinfo quite a while ago. The log message says Ensure libmytinfo stays dead.. I originally left it here so that we might be able to build the old shared versions rather than taking a binary for the compat area, but that seems to have caused confusion. For now I will just send this guy a previously compiled xterm.terminfo but my question is, is libmytinfo going to remain dead? If so, how does one run programs that want terminfo under FreeBSD? If terminfo is going to remain broken, may be the related man pages should be removed.
