Compiled terminfo files are architecture independent on any conforming
implementation. Compiling the terminfo entries from source in the
postinst is thus no aid to portability.
I see three options:
1) Send me the .src file, I include the defs in ncurses-base.
On second thought, I don't know that this stuff should go in base. It
might not be a big deal, though---how many defs are we talking about
here?.
2) Send me the .src file, I include the defs in ncurses-term.
I would have no problem in doing this, but wouldn't wish ncurses-term
on anyone who doesn't really need it.
3) Install the files with the screen package, and make it REPLACES:
ncurses-term.
Have I missed anything (other than coming up with a screen-terminfo
packages, which I think is taking package granularity a little far)?
Mike.
