This is now fixed in r5. I noticed a prior r4 which does not work anyway, so this is based off r3. *ncurses-5.2-r3 (1 Feb 2002) 1 Feb 2002; G.Bevin ChangeLog : Added initial ChangeLog which should be updated whenever the package is updated in any way. This changelog is targetted to users. This means that the comments should well explained and written in clean English. The details about writing correct changelogs are explained in the skel.ChangeLog file which you can find in the root directory of the portage repository.
