20To make local changes to ncurses, simply patch and commit to the trunk
21branch (aka HEAD).  Never make local changes on the vendor branch.
22
23All local changes should be submitted to Thomas Dickey for inclusion in
24the next vendor release. The author is very willing to help us.

26After importing, you have to update files in lib/ncurses. To configure
27ncurses, go to /usr/ports/devel/ncurses and
28
29	make WITHOUT_TERMINFO=1 configure
30
31Update ncurses_cfg.h and necessary Makefile glues from ${WRKSRC}/build.nowidec.
32Directory for wide character support is ${WRKSRC}/build.widec
33You may have to update ncurses-specific glue in termcap.c (check if 
34ncurses/tinfo/read_termcap.c has been changed since last import).
