You don't need to, I was responding to Joerg.

That's not POSIX, that's X/Open Curses.

Is _not_ the same.

Then you have to add terminfo.buildlink3.mk to every package that
use curses and remake a check that almost every package does by
itself only when is necessary (when using ncurses).

Look, I'm tired. I can't be more clear. I've shown you (pkgsrc-users)

Do as you wish.
