Hi We just fixed missing 1.6.3 in our RedHat/Fedora repo: http://bird.network.cz/?download&tdir=redhat/ I am not familiar with ecosystem of RPM distributions, i don't know whether such packages are usable outside of Fedora. W.r.t. ncurses6 - BIRD does not really care about ncurses version, could be compiled with probably 20 years old one. When compiling from source code the available curses library is selected. And a compiled binary references a specific name and a major version against which it was compiled. Sometimes it is possible to cheat that by adding symlink from newer library to actual installed older library. > On 17.05.2017 15:20, Stefan Plug wrote: > > Hi guys, > > > > is there any news on 1.6.3 for CentOS?
