--- Comment #5 from Wojciech A. Koszek <wkoszek at FreeBSD.org> ---
What you say isn't true. If we both spend 2 hours here, maybe it'll save 30min
for each 10 people who try FreeBSD, then it's a win.

I'm just giving you my point of view and feedback. You must admit what I said
isn't unrealistic usecase. I dug up an old script of mine with FreeBSD 'pkg
install'. I sourced it to shell and that's it. I don't observe pkg-messages
being spitted out.

Anyway, back on technical stuff:

=== message ===

 * Install tic (included in devel/ncurses)
 * Run

   # tic -C -K -s -x %%DATADIR%%/st.info >> /usr/share/misc/termcap
   # cd /usr/share/misc
   # cap_mkdb termcap

== 

Why not to make 'tic' a dependency?

Why not put these commands in post-install step in port's Makefile?
