System: NetBSD dr-teeth 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (TEETH) #3: Mon May 17 13:15:15 PDT 1999 root@dr-teeth:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TEETH i386


>Description:

The pkgsrc configuration for ncftp explicitly disables ncftp's
readline support. This means that, when run in non-visual (non-curses)
mode, tab-completion of filenames is not available. I think this is
distinctly a bug, as someone who prefers ncftp's line-oriented mode
over its curses mode, and finds ncftp's normal tab-completion a
definite feature.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install ncftp per the current pkgsrc configuration.

Then, run "ncftp2" and issue the command "set visual", and then exit
ncftp, and then run ncftp2 again (it should now be in line-oriented
mode), and try to connect to a site and tab-complete on filenames.

	
>Fix:
	
Remove the "--disable-readline" from the ncftp pkgsrc-Makefile, and
add readline to the list of things ncftp depends upon.
