Some other distributions are using it, so there are already patches available for some common packages that might need it. Some packages will work out of the box and be compatible. I use pdcurses with SDL backend (which can work with DirectFB) for some of the packages I build. Switching between different versions of curses wasn't hard for the applications build from source and use. Thought I'd throw it out as an interesting package option. I'm going to be experimenting with it in place of pdcurses for some of my Linux based packages builds. Sincerely, Laura |
