It contains the terminfo database that enables proper operation of ncurses-based applications. This will most likely be the final terminfo update for the cygwin-1.5 distribution; future development will continue with terminfo-5.7_20090221-10 for cygwin-1.7. ************************ IMPORTANT: You must upgrade libncurses8 (to 5.7-1) and terminfo (to 5.7_20090221-1) simultaneously. ************************ CHANGES (since 5.5_20061104-1) ======================== o Resync'ed with 20090221 patchlevel of ncurses-5.7 o Build using stock cygport 0.4.3 o Split into two packages: terminfo and terminfo-extra. - terminfo contains the same terminals provided by Fedora 10's 'ncurses-base' package, such as cygwin, vt*, xterm*, putty*, screen*, and rxvt*, and a few others. - terminfo-extra contains everything else. o Upstream changes: - /usr/share/terminfo database now organized by hex code of first character (e.g. instead of r/rxvt, we have 72/rxvt (0x72 == 'r'). See warning, below. WARNING: ======================== Because of a slight change in the organization of the terminfo database, terminfo entries NOT part of the terminfo package may need to be manually upgraded or moved. To improve operation on case-insensitive platforms, the terminfo database is now organizaed according to the two-digit hexadecimal code of the entry's first letter, instead of organized according to that first letter itself. For instance: OLD ---> NEW r/rxvt-unicode 72/rxvt-unicode To "fix" any out-of-place entries, you may manually move them to the correct location, or re-run tic.exe on the original terminfo source for that terminal. In the case of rxvt-unicode: $ /etc/postinstall/rxvt-unicode.sh.done will do the job. -- Charles Wilson terminfo volunteer maintainer for cygwin To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
