OK. In such case we should not forget that xterm entry in our
terminfo.src need to be patched for 256 colors support than.
From the other side I prefer small-steps tactic: do the change in
single direction and let the people test any possible side-effects of
this change. That's why I proposed to perform this switch independently
of ncurses outsourcing.
Understood. In this case the small steps are mostly superseded by the
big step we'll take anyway. So it's no the most efficient use of time
to take them in the first place.
IMO potential problems caused by the switching Haiku to terminfo are
barely related to ncurses outsourcing.
