(In reply to Alan Somers from comment #4)
My original patch merely preserved the behavior of the existing Makefile-based
ports infrastructure.  Getting things to link properly when building with
Poudriere is a separate matter since it builds everything separately.  If there
was a way to use DEFAULT_VERSIONS with ncurses, that would be a solution that
works for all ports, not just shells/fish, and it would work whether Poudriere,
Portmaster, Synth, or a manual 'make clean install' was used.

A possible workaround for shells/fish would be to provide an option to build
against the libs from the base system (USES=ncurses:base) or the libs from the
devel/ncurses port (USES=ncurses:port).  This is probably the correct option if
one views USES=ncurses as a convenience.  Of course, if devel/ncurses is
required, CURSES_NEED_NCURSES=TRUE would still be necessary for CMake to build
against the libs provided by devel/ncurses, which is the real problem here.
