On thread about switching from libtermcap to ncurses was about
libncurses size vis libtermcap. Why not enable --with-termlib in
ncurses. After this only libtermlib[w] can sit in /{_lib} and all other
shared libraries can be installed in %{_libdir} because all applications
which now uses termcap API can be linked with only libtermlib.
The termlib is the part of ncurses that has big .data section, so
it wouldn't help much.
Second: now ncurses package contains shared libncurses and
libncursesw.
Why not all link all against libncursesw ? It will allow drop libncurses
(or move to compat-ncurses). It will allow make main package ~two time
smaller.
Some packages don't need the wide-character ncurses, in fact there are
only 20 packages in FC+FE that depend on the library. But number of
packages requiring libncurses is about 200.
