Add xterm-256color to /etc/termcap

[kode54]

According to this page, it is possible to work around the default xterm-256color of macOS and similar, by adding:

 

|xterm-256color|

 

To the code block on line 144 in the default /etc/termcap. This fixes using elvis, the default vi clone, with the stock TERM setting.

 

The suggested /etc/DIR_COLORS setting is not necessary, as there is already a TERM xterm-256color line within that file.

Bumping this, since it does not appear to have made it into either 6.2.4 or 6.3.0-rc4.

 

Here is a temporary workaround for /boot/config/go:

 

# Fix termcap
sed -Ei "s/(\|xterm-color\|)(vs100\|)/\1xterm-256color|\2/" /etc/termcap
