Re: Ncurses support?

[Mike Frysinger]

i'm not seeing how any of this feedback translates into "gnulib should fork
ncurses".  as Bruno mentioned, ncurses, like gnulib, is a GNU project, so
that alone is pretty brow-raising.  but even from a purely technical pov,
ncurses does a _lot_, and i struggle to see why any of it makes sense in
gnulib.  the modules gnulib does have are either APIs on top of process
state (e.g. termios) that curses doesn't cover, or aren't really terminal
related (e.g. tputs).  it isn't implementing any APIs that require terminal
databases or escape sequences afaict.  if i missed a particular API, feel
free to highlight it.  but this is the core of ncurses that is nothing but
a hot mess regardless of where it lives.
