BUG: rxvt-unicode installs terminfo outside prefix

[pmq@…]

Hi, just wanted to bring up the fact that rxvt-unicode tries to put some files under /usr/share/terminfo/72/rxvt-unicode. Shouldn't it put these under ${prefix}/share/terminfo/ ? The error line itself is :

Hi,

Well.., "this isn't a bug but a feature." ;-)

When I recently updated rxvt-unicode, I modified it to install its own terminfo file into /usr/share/terminfo/ as well as ${prefix}/share/terminfo/ just in case since some ports seemed to be using Apple's ncurses library. (r21182)

Hi, Thanks for the comment. Well, I think the ports using Apple's ncurses should of course be fixed but I see your point. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't an oversight, but I should have read the Portfile to see if it was intentional ;) Closing as wontfix then!
