termcap maintainer?
Do we have a maintainer for termcap? The package doesn't include any documentation at all, including any mention of a maintainer. The screen package, which I am working on building, includes some new termcap entries. I could just have the screen installer append them to /etc/termcap, but it would be better to fix /etc/termcap in the termcap package. Thanks, Andrew.

I'm the maintainer but the package has been deprecated on UNIX/Linux for quite some time. You should be using terminfo. cgf

You should be using terminfo. terminfo already includes definitions for screen terminals, so that's no problem. Are you saying then that I should just ignore the extra termcap entries for screen, screen-bce, and screen-s, which don't appear in /etc/termcap?

There is no harm in including them but I really don't think there are (m)any programs out there who would take advantage of them. I'll make a new release today. cgf

I'll hold off announcing this until after you've released screen, though. I wouldn't want to get anyone prematurely excited about having screen available at long last. cgf
