It contains the terminfo database that enables proper operation of ncurses-based applications. Normally, the terminfo database is distributed WITH ncurses; but we've split it out to enable updates on an accelarated schedule. CHANGES (since 5.3-2) o added 'el' (erase-to-end-of-line) definition for 'TERM=cygwin' terminal definition (cgf) Note that you do NOT need to update to the test releases of ncurses or the cygwin kernel to use this terminfo package. In case you were wondering. -- Charles Wilson terminfo volunteer maintainer for cygwin INSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and update the terminfo package. Note that we have recently stopped downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
