00:21 <mx08> Hi, is there a specific reason to not include a system-wide config file in /etc/ ? I often use them to keep track of upstream changes in the config file by adding a dummy comment at the top, then many linux package managers (pacman/xbps/apt/...) will print a notice during system update that the default config changed...

10:32 <florhizome[m]> Hi, what downsides does disabling the "terminfo" option have? Manjaro seems to do this. I hadn't looked at foots configure options when reporting my issue with guixes foot before, andit seems like that could be an option.

10:32 <florhizome[m]> On the other hand i could try to use "custom-terminfo-install-location" to hardcode the path, but it would be an absolute path since guix builds in a temporary directory and then installs the results to /gnu/store.

10:39 <sterni> florhizome[m]: that's what we're doing in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/4c6772e2a1152f5c4cede5aeca89d1e3bab8c8a7/pkgs/applications/terminal-emulators/foot/default.nix#L151-L155

10:40 <sterni> you need to either install the terminfo then or pass through the TERMINFO var in e.g. sudo/doas (not sure if Guix is doing that, NixOS does by default)

10:51 <florhizome[m]> I sparked a whole convo about TERMINFO/TERMINFO_DIRS so that’s good to know^^

11:59 <florhizome[m]> sterni where could I read more about that?

12:26 <sterni> I don't think there's much documentation on it, but there's also not too much to it

12:26 <sterni> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/config/terminfo.nix

12:26 <sterni> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/67a706a70a75054d895c5cefffaf3a4fe9c6d6b6/nixos/modules/security/doas.nix#L18

12:26 <sterni> are the relevant configuration bits which are applied by default on NixOS systems

12:26 <sterni> and that should do the trick pretty much

12:27 <sterni> foot is also pretty tame because it uses TERMINFO instead of TERMINFO_DIRS, as the latter is a glibc invention and sometimes needs patching to work

12:32 <asd> muss gleich los

12:32 <asd> sorry, wrong window ;-)
