Details

Description:

Currently, the aalib package is compiled with the "Linux console", "curses", and "x11" drivers. There is one more driver that it supports: "slang". Well, Arch has "extra/slang", so why not add a `depends=(slang)` and let it compile with that one too?

Note that by default, if `./configure` decides to build the slang driver (which it will by default if S-Lang is present), then it won't build the curses driver; so it'd be necessary to start adding `--with-curses-driver=yes`

PS: Nothing uses HAVE_LIBCURSES, so it doesn't really matter, but `./configure` isn't setting HAVE_LIBCURSES in src/config.h, so something hokey is going on there, if you care to look in to that when you're fussing with ./configure.

Additional info:
* package version: extra/aalib 1.4rc5-15, extra/slang 2.3.3-2

Orphaned pkg i.e. no maintainer. Currently hard dep'd by "extra/gst-plugins-good", "extra/mplayer" and "community/xine-ui", optdep'd by "extra/vlc". Maintainers notified as a hint for adoption.
