Hello,

If we replaced ncurses with an smaller curses implementation,
like netbsd-curses the base system would be smaller
and it would allow us to optimize our system further

If you need help with it I can send a patch

Thanks

Hello,

While I would also prefer using netbsd-curses on all my software (and
have attempted this before), it's not a drop-in replacement for every
package that depends on ncurses. There are a variety of software that
depends on the extensions provided by ncurses, and it's not always easy
to patch them out. This means that we would require two curses
implementations maintained on the repository which is an unnecessary
complexity. Even if we were to add both packages on the repository,
maintaining two curses implementations on the same system is really
problematic and can easily lead to breakage.
