In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] GPG2 on OI, s...@pandora.be said...:
Do we know whether the GNUPG developers are testing/developing with GNU
libncurses ?
Or whether they have access to a more traditional UNIX system with older
original style, AT&T or BSD curses ?
The code is written to support both, though being a GNU project their
primary focus is ncurses.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ncurses,
ncurses is (nowadays) part of the GNU project but,
under a permissive free software licence, similar to the MIT License.
As a test I rebuilt the pinentry package to use libncurses :
COMPONENT_NAME= pinentry
COMPONENT_VERSION= 1.1.0
+COMPONENT_REVISION= 1
COMPONENT_SRC= $(COMPONENT_NAME)-$(COMPONENT_VERSION)
COMPONENT_PROJECT_URL= http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/pinentry/

This builds ok and it is possible to install that version:
# pkg list -af pinentry
security/pinentry 1.1.0-2020.0.1.0 ---
security/pinentry (userland) 1.1.0-2020.0.1.1 i--
It uses libncurses:
# ldd /usr/lib/pinentry-curses
...
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/64/libncurses.so.5
It seems that when I use text login console with TERM=sun-color,
it now displays a frame. It looks decent.
I can enter a passphrase and it works.
However it is unclear to me whether this is the right approach
(to use libncurses). That approach is not necessarily the right one.
It changes the dependencies
$ pkg contents -t depend pinentry
TYPE FMRI
...
require pkg:/library/ncurses@6.2.20200212-2020.0.1.1
...
require pkg:/system/library@0.5.11-2020.0.1.20711
The version with libncurses still has issues.
With the TERM=xterm-256color the frame looks weird, even with libncurses.
So it is not solving all problems, although that it solves the sun-color TERM
problem.

Hi,
Today I have updated pinentry to the latest 1.2.0 version and also switched
from curses to ncurses.
My hope is that this will solve many reported problems.
Regards,
Andreas
