Thanks for sending in the patch.

It looks like you are redefining the value of »term« and »xterm‐256col‐
or« on systems that have st.info installed. This will create incompati‐
bilities for such systems when xterm is used. »xterm« and »st« are not
completely compatible, otherwise there would be no need for this sepa‐
rate terminfo entry.

Please add the patch to the website describing this implication for peo‐
ple using st for remote sites. [0]


Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann
