22To make local changes to ncurses, simply patch and commit to the main
23branch (aka HEAD).  Never make local changes on the vendor (NCURSES) branch.

25All local changes should be submitted to Thomas Dickey for inclusion in
26the next vendor release. The author is very willing to help us.

28After importing, you have to update files in lib/ncurses. To configure
29ncurses, go to /usr/ports/devel/ncurses and
