Hello Guix,

I have a need to use ncurses-with-tinfo@5.

The ncurses package embeds the version string in various places, and even
hard-codes the version-major 6 in a couple places, making it impractical to=

just create a transformation.

Is this patch reasonable?

The make-ncurses-package procedure seems reasonable to be, as it will
also probably ease the upgrade of the package to future major revisions.

However, the introduction of ncurses-5 and ncurses/tinfo-5 has to match
a precise need for a package that is or will be part of Guix. Is that
the case?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Yes, sort of. I am currently test-driving a package for Dyalog APL at the
moment, which requires ncurses/tinfo-5. However, due to licensing issues, that
package needs to be in the unmentionable repo.

I'm not quite sure of the appropriate protocol in this case.
