Subject: [bug#53257] [PATCH] gnu: foot: expose terminfo dirs via native-search-paths
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2022 18:46:46 +0000	[thread overview]

Hello Maxime,
to me, the functionality of search-paths seemed exactly communicating
paths *beyond* a single profile. It would make more sense to set
them with the package that installs the decisive files to me, at least
as a thumb-of-rule. Your examples don't really counter that, though, i
think ;)
In other words, what next?

> So as long as 'nano/emacs/vi/...' and 'kitty/foot/gnome-terminal-
> emulator/...' are in the _same_ profile, the environment variable
> of the search path is set.
