29To make local changes to ncurses, simply patch and commit to the main
30branch (aka HEAD).  Never make local changes on the vendor (NCURSES) branch.
31
32All local changes should be submitted to Thomas Dickey for inclusion in
33the next vendor release. The author is very willing to help us.

36ncurses, go to /usr/ports/devel/ncurses and
