31Remove files that are removed in this release in vendor branch (NCURSES)
32instead of HEAD.
33
34To make local changes to ncurses, simply patch and commit to the main
35branch (aka HEAD).  Never make local changes on the vendor (NCURSES) branch.
36
37All local changes should be submitted to Thomas Dickey for inclusion in
38the next vendor release. The author is very willing to help us.

40After importing, you have to update files in lib/ncurses. To configure
41ncurses, go to /usr/ports/devel/ncurses and
42
43	make WITHOUT_TERMINFO=1 configure

45Update ncurses_cfg.h and necessary Makefile glues from ${WRKSRC}/build.nowidec.
46Directory for wide character support is ${WRKSRC}/build.widec
47You may have to update ncurses-specific glue in termcap.c.
