Re: [PR PATCH] [Updated] Compile terminfo description when building

[meator <meator@users.noreply.github.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2185 bytes --]

There is an updated pull request by meator against master on the void-packages repository

https://github.com/meator/void-packages terminfo
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38179

Compile terminfo description when building
Some `*-terminfo` packages do not actually provide compiled terminal descriptions, but only the source file. They then have to compile it with `tic` in `INSTALL` and then remove in in `REMOVE`. This approach is more complicated, adds `ncurses` (the provider of `tic`) as a runtime dependency of these packages and it has to explicitly specify completions to remove from `/usr/share/terminfo` (I've already had to add missing ones to `st-terminfo` in #33116 because some were missing).

As far as I know this approach doesn't have any advantages over just compiling the terminfo files and then shipping them in the package. If compiling these files "locally" has some purpose than please comment here and explain.

The presence of terminfo files that haven't been compiled in `/usr/share/terminfo` can also confuse some programs. For example when I install all packages which this PR modifies and then run `toe > /dev/null`, it shows:
```
toe: couldn't open terminfo file xst.terminfo.
toe: couldn't open terminfo file st.terminfo.
toe: couldn't open terminfo file rxvt-unicode.terminfo.
toe: couldn't open terminfo file mtm.ti.
toe: couldn't open terminfo file dvtm.info.
toe: couldn't open terminfo file alacritty.info.
```

I've also tried to simplify the templates I've been working with and I've adopted `st` because I'm an active user of it. And does `st` really depend on `ncurses`? I didn't want to mess with this but it could be possible that this dependency was added because of terminfo generation before `st` and `st-terminfo` were separate packages.

Subject: [PATCH 2/7] dvtm: generate terminfo when building & simplify

Generating terminfo in INSTALL is unnecessary and leaves .info file in
/usr/share/terminfo which can confuse some programs.

Dvtm now also uses proper build_style=gnu_makefile instead of calling
make explicitly.

ncurses-term provides terminfo entries only for terminals which don't
