Source: ncurses Severity: wishlist The latest upstream patchlevel (20130309) adds the configure option "--with-cxx-shared" to permit building libncurses++ as a shared library.
Using this option would require to either add yet more five packages to debian/control if we choose to package the library in its own package, or increase the size of the base system if we add it to the libncurses5/libncursesw5 packages (libncurses++.so.5.9 is ~100 Kilobyte stripped on i386). Also, it is not entirely clear to me whether we should use a symbols file for libncurses++, since symbols files for C++ are notoriously difficult to maintain and may differ across architectures. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
