Hello, following [1], I have been able to upgrade to the latest
snapshot of ncurses in a -current openbsd system. All seems to be
working well.
Here is a rough script I'm using at the moment
# Fetch openbsd tree's ncurses through cvs
MIRROR="anon...@mirror.osn.de:/cvs"
cd /usr
cvs -qd $MIRROR checkout -P src/lib/lib{form,menu,panel,curses}
cvs -qd $MIRROR checkout -P src/usr.bin/{tic,infocmp,tput,tset}
cvs -qd $MIRROR checkout -P src/share/termtypes
# download ncurses sources
cd /tmp
ftp https://elytron.openbsd.amsterdam/ncu2openbsd
ftp https://elytron.openbsd.amsterdam/installncu
chmod +x ncu2openbsd installncu
ftp
https://github.com/ThomasDickey/ncurses-snapshots/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip /tmp/master.zip -d .
# then as root
# cd /tmp/ncurses-snapshots* ; /tmp/installncu
I tweaked the install scripts just a bit I would love if this could
help upgrade in the main tree, I know there has been interest to
do so for quite a while now [2]
