Description juhtolv 2000-02-08 20:25:29 UTC

/etc/termcap is obsolete in Red Hat. Currently Red hat uses version 9.12.0
but according to homepage of Eric S. Raymond the latest available version
is 10.2.7.

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/terminfo/index.html

And therefore it is real pain in the ass to log in to Red Hat from some
machine and terminal with termcap/terminfo entries like rxvt or dtterm. And
it would be very nice to include an entry called "xterm-debian", too:

Fixed in the termcap in rawhide.
