ncurses 5.9 devel =23

Library for terminal-independent, full-screen output
Maintained by: rafan@FreeBSD.org
Port Added: unknown
License: not specified in port

---

---

The ncurses software includes a SVr4 and XSI-Curses compatible
curses library as well as terminfo tools including "tic", "infocmp",
and "captoinfo".  The library is used by other programs for text-mode
support of color, multiple highlights, forms-drawing characters,
automatic recognition of keypad and function-key sequences, and
more.

The ncurses library uses a terminfo database (included), but can
be configured to use BSD's /etc/termcap file instead.  This has
been approved by the old 4.4BSD curses maintainer as the official
4.4BSD curses successor.

- Since PORTEXAMPLES is used, no need to add extra entries in pkg-plist

Noticed by:     itetcu

- Really fix build when WRKDIRPREFIX [1]
  I don't know why the current approach works in my previous test. Now
  really fix the build by changing to .CURDIR (where the port lives).
  Note that I use .CURDIR instead of PORTSDIR/PKGORIGIN as the port may
  live outside somewhere else.
- Respect PORTEXAMPLES
- Add trailing slash for destination directory

- Remove the DESTDIR modifications from individual ports as we have a new,
  fully chrooted DESTDIR, which does not need such any more.

- Force commit to note distfiles are changed into ncurses/ subdir

- Add FreeBSD keyword for easier tracking

- Make manual pages macros more like what we have in src/lib/ncurses. This
  makes easier update in the base system.
- Remove 4.x support in devel/ncurses

- Register conflicts with devel/ncurses-devel
- Reduce diff against devel/ncurses-devel

Retire NO_FILTER_SHLIBS now that it no longer serves a purpose

- Enable terminfo again, can be turned off via WITHOUT_TERMINFO [1]
  - Partially address bin/71801
  - terminfo and termcap are both enabled by default
  - Additional terminfo should be installed as share/misc/*.terminfo
    When installing/upgrading ncurses port, these *.terminfo will
    be taken care automatically. [2]
- Remove safe-sprintf, we have vsprintf(3) and vsnprintf(3)
  - Fix problem on amd64 with ncursesw
- Remove our own rpath stuffs, use --enable-rpath instead.
  - I think we can safely package it now. So, remove MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD.
    Let me know if this causes problem.
- Profiling and debug libraries can be built conditionally
  - By default, profiling libraries is built

- Take maintainership

Reset maintainership to ports@ after ~4 months without any response to any
PR.

Thanks for contributing.

Since the acroread7 port is a somewhat important port for our users, I
will hand it over to emulation@ if no _active_ *committer* takes it
before the ports freeze.

While I'm here:
 - fix a little nit in the csound port (I think the intention was to
   create no backup file instead of creating one with a "-e" extension)
 - set ARCH to i386 in the amd64 case for the acroread7 port. This
   is a work-around to be able to install everything when a dependency
   is not already installed (ARCH is read-only in sub-makes, so the
   dependencies can't change it). This should be removed when the
   dependencies are fixed or converted to use bsd.linux-rpm.mk. [1]

This has been in the base system and marked FORBIDDEN since 4.0-RELEASE.
Remove it.

Style police over the devel category.    

Goodbye, YEAR2000.  Hello, 2001.    

Mark FORBIDDEN for 4.x and above which already has this in the   base system -
lots of wonderful breakages with this port installed   too on such systems.    

Don't try to installed non-existent files/Makefile.    

Upgrade to 5.2. I hope this will work for the Python users on   FreeBSD-3.x out
there.    

Mark forbidden because of reported buffer overflows.    

Convert category devel to new layout.  

Unleash all of these ports upon the people.  I no longer have any interest   in
any of them, but will be happy to assign MAINTAINER to others and commit  
updates for them.
