> Some random program complains that st is unknown/not recognised/unsupported/whatever!
I really wish there was a better way to deal with this (I have the same problem with rxvt-unicode-256color). I'm obviously not going to make install a graphical terminal emulator on some random server I'm logging into.
I'd argue that they should go the route that most terminal programs do and just announce they're xterm, or at least have a config file option for doing so.
I meant the distribution problem of getting the file to the server. I grant that it's a petty annoyance, but it is still an annoying thing. And logging into a new server always carries with it the question of whether it's worth fixing it permanently when you barely use it.
For the machines I regularly use I have terminfo files in my dotfiles git repo.
