Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-10-02 11:58:03 UTC 
Hi,

please add "putty-256color" support for dircolors.

terminfo has already support for "putty-256color":

  # ls -l /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2005 Aug 24 17:38 /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2049 Aug 24 17:38 /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-256color
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1985 Aug 24 17:38 /usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-vt100

but because dircolors doesn't, you won't get colors per default (default = Gentoo with Bash, see /etc/bash/bashrc) unless you add your own .dir_colors file or change the TERM value, PuTTY is sending.

The latest version I tested (sys-apps/coreutils-8.21) doesn't have putty-256color-Support.

Reproducible: Always

sent support upstream.  it should be in the next release.
