How do you install contours terminfo over ssh? #1318
Comments
The wireframe is as follows:
tic will automatically put the resulting binary into I have an sshrc that deals with spinning up an agent if you aren't forwarding one, I will look into extending that with the calling of terminfo and creating a local wrapper over the ssh command. |
The biggest killer here is having to come up with a script that works (can find contour, acts as if it was the ssh command, etc.) on the Windows side of things when ran as a client... |
The binary terminfo file is packaged along with the packages (Not sure for Windows right out of my head though). I am not sure it's good to require users to use It's probably a good idea to put that file into the release page for a single-file download as well (for use-cases like yours). I think we can add an option (/a flag) to contour CLI to output the compiled terminfo file rather than the source terminfo file. But that requires a little bit of indirection during build step (not impossible). |
I think that solution that @whisperity pointed out is the optimal one, you also can install contour from on server and terminfo file will be installed alongside. |
I've personally gotten to use |
For those of us who have no idea about these stuff: can you add a oneliner somewhere that installs terminfo on a remote computer? Possibly a version where one has root and where one does not.
Thanks!
