G'day, I've sent the message cited below to [email protected] and the current ncurses maintainer replied that he would accept a patch only from the developer of rxvt-unicode and that the terminfo must be accurate.
Could this somehow be resolved for the benefit of lots of urxvt users? Thank you. -- Rogutės Sparnuotos ----- Forwarded message ----- Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:26:29 +0200 From: Rogutės Sparnuotos <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [REQ] Add rxvt-unicode terminfo User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) G'day, Every major Linux distribution seems to have a bug report against ncurses or rxvt-unicode, with users asking for rxvt-unicode terminfo in the base system [*]. Since rxvt-unicode is quite widespread, could ncurses include the terminfo? If it would help, I could try crafting a patch, basing it against the patch in Debian: http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/debianonly/view/ncurses/5.7+20090803-2 Thank you. -- Rogutės Sparnuotos [*] To support the claim above, here are some links to the bugs: Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=270287 (ncurses-base: rxvt-unicode has new TERM value) Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160031 (RFE: add rxvt-unicode to /etc/termcap) OpenSUSE: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329137 (rxvt-unicode should require terminfo) Gentoo: http://bugs.gentoo.org/192083 (sys-libs/ncurses should include rxvt-unicode terminfo <..>) Archlinux: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6784 (ncurses needs rxvt-unicode terminfo) ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
