[arch-general] suckless-terminal (st) in community - is there an issue with st-255color terminfo and tmux?
I'm really glad st is now in community, though I find it slightly odd its orphaned even though it's just been moved. Anyway, on the upgrade my terminal would not start, and I tracked that down to the default config.h setting termname to 'st-256color' Changing that to 'stterm-256color' means it doesn't crash on startup anymore. It's because I start tmux automatically in terminal. The problem with 'st' is that the name is nigh-on un-google-able... anyone else knows about this issue or has hit it before?

Probably Sergej forgot to adopt... Nothing to worry about.

Is your system up-to-date? You need recent ncurses. % pacman -Q ncurses ncurses 6.0-3 % pacman -Ql ncurses | grep st-256color ncurses /usr/share/terminfo/s/st-256color -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}

Forgot to mention, I DO have st-256color (latest ncurses installed since 17th Sep), it just doesn't work in tmux....
