There's a whole story about that, part of which is that at the time terminfo had to cater for old systems where there's a limit on the length of a terminal type name. But the same applies as for a missing kitty terminfo entry. The terminfo database is designed so that one can copy records around, and one can put them in a directory in one's home directory if one does not have administrative access to update the system database. Debian systems have had an rxvt-unicode-256color entry for approaching 10 years, now. FreeBSD for about the same. * https://sources.debian.org/src/ncurses/5.9-10/debian/rxvt-unicode.ti/ https://sources.debian.org/src/ncurses/5.9-10/debian/rxvt-un... * https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/termcap/termcap?r1=211066&r2=218844 https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/termcap/termcap?r...
