03:41 <ericonr> dnkl: ifreund: is kakoune moving away from ncurses relevant to this discussion?

04:40 <dnkl> ericonr: I don't use kakoune, but.... They are? What are they doing instead?

08:40 <ifreund> dnkl: they just send esacpe sequences directly, don't read term info, and try to use a subset that every reasonable terminal emulator supports

08:42 <ifreund> the kakoune release 2 days ago uses this new backend

08:52 <ifreund> kakoune also uses the synchronized update protocol by the way

08:52 <ifreund> so it's not just tmux

08:53 <ifreund> it also supports strikethrough faces now in addtion to bold/italic

09:47 <Arnavion> <dnkl> Arnavion: it's definitely an alternative distributions can choose. < Alas, it didn't work out. The "terminfo-base" package I was looking at is a minimal package that intentionally only contains a subset of all the terminfos. There's another "terminfo" package that does contain ncurses' version of foot's terminfo, which our foot package cannot be allowed to conflict with

11:39 <dnkl> ino: there's an open feature request to add left/right support to yambar, but currently not possible

11:43 <ino> thanks @dnkl

11:43 <ino> wth

11:43 <ino> thanks dnkl!

11:43 <ino> :)

17:19 <Arnavion> >Automatically generate the correct file names for the terminfo definitions, if -Ddefault-terminfo is set.

17:19 <Arnavion> This will generate foot-suse-direct instead of foot-direct-suse, right?

17:20 <Arnavion> I guess I can just continue mv'ing it to foot-direct-suse

17:20 <dnkl> Yup, that's correct
