Good evening,
I've noticed dircolors does not work in foot and alacritty, and on previously
raised patches about adding a TERM entry for them the concern of a nongeneric
solution was brought up. This is a valid concern, and as many terminals
(including these two) export COLORTERM to advertise 24-bit color support, it'd
appear to be a good way to pick up on color support.
COLORTERM does seem to be a way to advertise truecolor support:
https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/5294
Note dircolors supports config files for multiple terminals like:
global config
...
TERM should_not_match
specific config
...
TERM should_match
...
Your change could break this setup if there were
entries in "specific config" that weren't overridden later,
and even if they were, it would result in larger LS_COLORS env vars.
How about the attached patch to allow matching COLORTERM
just like TERM, and set the pattern in the default config
to match against any COLORTERM value.
This also has the advantage of handling specific COLORTERM values.
We would have to add the default COLORTERM entry to distro config
(when supported by the installed dircolors), but that should be easy enough to
do.
I've also attached a patch to avoid needless calls to fnmatch().
cheers,

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dircolors: consider COLORTERM as well as TERM env vars
COLORTERM is an environment used usually to expose truecolor support in
terminal emulators. Therefore support matches on that in addition
to TERM. Also set the default COLORTERM match pattern so that
we apply colors if COLORTERM is any value.
This implicitly supports a terminal like "foot"
without a need for an explicit TERM entry.
* NEWS: Mention the new feature.
* src/dircolors.c (main): Match COLORTERM like we do for TERM.
* src/dircolors.hin: Add default config to match any COLORTERM.
* tests/misc/dircolors.pl: Add test cases.

dircolors takes a new --print-ls-colors option to display LS_COLORS
entries, on separate lines, colored according to the entry color code.
+ dircolors will now also match COLORTERM in addition to TERM environment

** Improvements
cp, mv, and install now use openat-like syscalls when copying to a directory.
