Re: ANN: ncurses-5.9-20150530

[Fotis Georgatos]

Hi Thomas, all,

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/ has been stagnant for more than 4 years by now;

I just wish to ask if that is intentional or something is pending.

My impression is, that linux distributions look at that particular location for ncurses updates

and this may be the root cause for users still facing issues such as this one (visible w. clang?):

tia for any feedback,

F.
