> I would like to move the foot entries to ncurses-base: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2217982 Please, don't do that. foot terminfo entry in ncurses is incomplete and limited[1] due to ncurses maintainer's refusal to include capabilities not supported by ncurses. It would make more problems for me if it was available and used by default.

It > would make more problems for me if it was available and used by default. There's no reason for the contents of foot-terminfo to conflict with ncurses-term. Other distributions seem to handle that by renaming Foot's own copy of the terminfo(5) entries: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/wiki#user-content-foot-s-terminfo-vs-ncurses-terminfo [Seems like we are sending the same reference back and forth. :) ] You can also convince Fedora's ncurses packager to carry Foot's copy of the terminfo(5) entries, if you really want Foot to use it's own copy of the entries. Either way, this is a problem that needs to be sorted out by Foot, and not pushed downstream on people building OCI images: https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/1244 https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/sway/SIG/-/issues/19 You can't expect everybody building OCI images to include foot-terminfo on the off chance that someone might be using Foot. Currently, it's not even a good idea to install foot-terminfo in OCI images because it will prevent ncurses-term from being installed which will cause an even bigger problem. I'd like to add that this currently makes updating rawhide hard, as it fails on the transaction: ``` Error: Transaction test error: file /usr/share/terminfo/f/foot from install of ncurses-base-6.4-5.20230520.fc39.noarch conflicts with file from package foot-terminfo-1.14.0-2.fc39.x86_64 file /usr/share/terminfo/f/foot-direct from install of ncurses-base-6.4-5.20230520.fc39.noarch conflicts with file from package foot-terminfo-1.14.0-2.fc39.x86_64 ``` For me, the solution was to remove foot, as I use Kitty or Alacritty. Not sure if others have this luxury. FEDORA-2023-749f40a448 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 39. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-749f40a448 FEDORA-2023-749f40a448 has been pushed to the Fedora 39 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

The conflicts became worse with: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ncurses/pull-request/6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2217982 I hadn't expected that pull request to get merged so soon. Anyway, Aleksei sorted everything out: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/foot/c/f8f1c9b946df09b8 Thanks, Aleksei! |
