The following reply was made to PR lib/58282; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andreas Gustafsson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: lib/58282: Sysinst terminal output size increased because curses Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2026 13:20:23 +0300 Brett, With the commit of src/lib/libcurses/refresh.c 1.134, the size of the console log from an automated install on my i386-laptop testbed decreased by almost two thirds: gumbo:/bracket/i386-laptop/results $ zcat ./2026/2026.07.02.00.32.00/install.log.gz | wc -c 394316 gumbo:/bracket/i386-laptop/results $ zcat ./2026/2026.07.02.04.37.48/install.log.gz | wc -c 137383 Also, the installation now runs several minutes faster (it's using a 9600 bps serial console, so every kilobyte of output adds about a second to the runtime). I consider the bug fixed. Thanks. -- Andreas Gustafsson, [email protected]
