Description Miroslav Lichvar 2007-02-01 13:56:58 UTC 
Description of problem:

Remove termcap, it's an obsolete system for describing terminal capabilities.
Use ncurses with terminfo everywhere.
Comment 1 Penelope Fudd 2007-02-06 06:33:22 UTC 
Vim still uses it.
Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-02-06 08:28:48 UTC 
This is only about devel branch, vim is linked with ncurses there.
Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2007-03-15 14:41:59 UTC 
Looks like there are still some open bugs on this, we should complete this
before the feature freeze.  What is the overall status?
Comment 4 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-03-15 14:59:48 UTC 
There are only few buildrequires left and one libtermcap-devel requirement in
R-devel package.
Comment 5 Miroslav Lichvar 2007-12-12 17:54:32 UTC 
termcap and libtermcap packages are now retired.
