Well, nobody cares until "Error opening terminal" message appears while trying to start an ncurses or slang application. But yes, most of the terminals descriptions could be moved to a subpackage and add it to comps' core group so it's installed by default. The base package would have only few selected descriptions that are widely used.

I'm not sure about removing terminfo from default Fedora install, Users can connect via ssh and use many different terminals. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
