Package: foot-terminfo
Version: 1.18.1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
Currently the package does not install any terminfo file.
The files /usr/share/terminfo/f/{foot,foot+base,foot-direct} are
provided by ncurses-term. They do not declare all capabilities, see
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/wiki#foot-s-terminfo-vs-ncurses-terminfo
It seems that foot-terminfo also proviedes
/usr/share/terminfo/f/{foot,foot-direct}
but they aren't installed. (I guess since both foot-terminfo and
ncurses-term provide them, only one is installed?)
Arch Linux's foot-terminfo seems to provide foot-extra and
foot-extra-direct instead. (Also not ideal since it would require the user to
set TERM=foot-extra)

Yes, as the package description of foot-terminfo says:
> This is a transitional package. It can safely be removed.
> The foot terminfo files are now shipped by ncurses-term.
It seems that foot-terminfo also proviedes
/usr/share/terminfo/f/{foot,foot-direct}
but they aren't installed. (I guess since both foot-terminfo and
ncurses-term provide them, only one is installed?)
foot-termino provided those files until 1.15.1-2 but since then it does
not anymore and foot now depends on ncurses-term >= 6.4+20230625-2.
Arch Linux's foot-terminfo seems to provide foot-extra and
foot-extra-direct instead. (Also not ideal since it would require the user to
set TERM=foot-extra)
I was planning on doing the same.
cheers,
Birger
