No big deal now that we can see all the recent changes to ncurses. |

I appreciate the explanation. |

I've already move on to other projects this weekend. |

I just hope there his a gentoo wiki page on GIT that minimizes the what |
| 23 |
we need to read and some clear examples on how to do things and why. |
| 24 |
I know it's evolving. |

Yep it first hit me a few days ago with libcaca and the LXQT install. |
| 29 |
All is fine now for me. PS. I use man pages as references. They rarely |
| 30 |
"connect the dots" like your previously referred to presentation. That |
| 31 |
would be keen to link off of a gentoo wiki page; or get one of the more |
| 32 |
knowledgable gentoo devs to provide something handy and simple. Lord knows, |
| 33 |
we gonna be revisiting GIT issues for a while..... |

thx, |
