Right now I have updated my system to FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Tue Jan 22 11:12:25 CET 2002. * Yes, the problem is still here and transition to libncurses.so.5 is still just partial without supporting utilities. Unfortunatelly, libncurses.so.5 is currently in both -current and -stable, so at this time it is not a problem just in -current, but in -stable too. * You can test this problem very easily. Run command "tput cm 0 0", which should move cursor to position 0, 0, and you will see additional error messages: tput: unknown % escape `p' for capability `cm' tput: unknown % escape `p' for capability `cm' * Furthermore, because of similar problems due to changes in libncurses.so.5 tercap compilation utility tconv (alias tic and captoinfo) has been disconnected from build. You can see /usr/src/usr.bin/Makefile. It is very interesting that this utility isn't missing to anybody except me ;-) * I do not understand if maintainer (is it you, peter?) wanted to compile these utilities directly from /usr/src/contrib/ncurses (tput/tic/infocmp) and forgot on this or he wanted to update standard BSD sources and does not have time or he does not know about this??? -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
