I remember a post of Wichert asking to be careful with the upload of
new library packages just before the freeze. Is there still a concern
to introduce new basic libraries for potato?
If not, why is ncurses-5.0 not packaged? Herbert Xu wrote that he
would take over maintainership from Galen, but I did not see any package.
Please see the thread starting at
