I don't know why they don't simply compile them while building and then ship the compiled files, but I think the maintainers of these packages wouldn't have chosen this more complicated way of packaging terminfo without a reason. My point is really just that if you dump the `.info` file inside of `/usr/share/terminfo`, then `toe -a` will complain to STDERR that it can't open the raw .info file. ``` toe: couldn't open terminfo file alacritty.info. ``` So I don't think it's normal to leave the .info files in the /usr/share/terminfo directory. I'll open a new issue. Just seemed minor and didn't want to alert more people than necessary.
