All the packages in [core] and [extra] should be rebuilt and
sitting in the [testing] repo with the new ncurses package. If
not, then file bug reports for individual packages. Packages in
[community] will get updated when the move from [testing] happens.
- Field changed: Percent Complete (100% → 0%)
So why not just continue building libncurses.so.5 like it used
too?
Because, this way is better once the rebuilds are done. It means
all programs that use ncurses will have better support for
multi-byte characters.
