Hello, I found that there is no corresponding terminfo file at /usr/share/terminfo after installing of x11-terms/alacritty. The lack of terminfo causes issues for applications that use certain capabilities, e.g. it breaks scrolling when GNU Screen is launched. Please consider adding a terminfo file for alacritty. Thanks! Best regards, Aliaksei Reproducible: Always
It is shipped with ncurses. % qfile /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty sys-libs/ncurses: /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty What version of ncurses do you have installed? Does it not provide this file?
Hello Mike, Ah, it's my fault. The file is actually there. $ equery b /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty * Searching for /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty ... sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1 (/usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty) I was trying to find it with $ equery f alacritty | grep terminfo and wasn't expecting that it comes with ncurses. So closing this issue now. But the issue with GNU Screen is still there, probably due to missing capabilities in the terminfo file. It forces me to add the following line to my screenrc: termcapinfo alacritty ti@:te@ I'll try to figure out on what side the problem is and submit a corresponding report. Thank you for your help!
