Re: RFS: ruby-ncursesw 1.3.1-1

Hi!

After asking Gaudenz about sponsoring ruby-ncursesw (and sup-mail) I was
pointed at #477366 and asked if a separate source package really was
necessary (perl ncurses apparently links against ncursesw).

So I made a few attempts to having ruby-ncursesw also build ruby-ncurses,
upstream is same but source is slightly different.

In the end I figured that it is probably enough to symlink

    lib/ncurses.rb -> lib/ncursesw.rb

and let ruby-ncursesw Provides: ruby-ncurses.

This would make both Ruby's ncurses and ncursesw use ncursesw_bin,
which is linked against ncursesw, so both would have wide character support.


Is this a sufficient solution? If so merger with ruby-ncurses (mostly,
transition
packages) could be performed and then ruby-ncurses source package could
be removed.


Best,
Per
