Package: libcurses-perl
Version: 1.12-1wide1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I'd like to be able to use curses from perl with wide-characters.
The attached patch builds an alternative version "libcursesw-perl"
that links to the wide libraries. It could be done cleaner by building
each version in a separate build-directory, but I don't know how to do
that with perl extensions. Therefore I punted and built both
alternatives from the install target.
Another option is to *always* link libcurses-perl with the wide
libraries, offering no "narrow" alternative. AFAICS libncursesw is
fully compatible with libncurses, so that should not be a problem, but
I don't know for sure. That would make the patch much cleaner.
Perhaps the two-alternatives option could be used for now, and the
wide-only option in the future.
The patch also includes an important dh_shlibdeps call, without which
the packages lack "Depends: libncurses5" (this should probably be in a
separate bug).
