Good that you mention it. I suspect it wasn't correct in the respective bep file at HaikuPorts yet?
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 In this case the small steps are mostly superseded by the big step we'll take anyway.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.
OK, I probably misunderstood you. I thought updating ncurses to a newer version and finding another solution for compiling the terminfo database were prerequisites for switching from termcap to terminfo.
