I hope I got the class right, and this is not a bug so much as a request for enhancement. The termcap database includes a definition for PuTTY that looks like this: putty|vt220-color|vt220-co|vt220 emulator with ANSI colors:\ :pa#64:Co#8:AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm:op=\E[39;49m\E[m:tc=vt220: This is good and works nicely, but does not support the full 256 color palette that PuTTY supports. Fix: I've added the following two lines to my termcap: putty-256color:\ :pa#32767:Co#256:tc=putty: It seems to work acceptably. Ultimately of course, I don't care if my suggestion is the official definition, I'd just like one that works. :^) Thanks! How-To-Repeat: Not really a problem. Just a suggestion for a new termcap entry.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->bdrewery I'll take it.
Created attachment 173642 [details] termcap diff for putty-256color Simple termcap update to allow 256 colors in putty.
batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
This is a very small addition to the system termcap that already has an entry for "putty". Is there some reason why this can't be done? Yes, it still relevant. Every system upgrade I have to reapply this change to the termcap.
