Subject: bug#35247: [PATCH] Add alacritty to terminal list supporting colors
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 15:35:07 +0100

Things have changed a little since the original request.
alacritty sets $COLORTERM, and dircolors now auto accepts that since:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/75c9fc674

There are some complications with remote shells, but
they should boil down to setting up ssh to send/accept COLORTERM.

For some background for setting colors based on env vars
from the Fedora side of things at least, see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/256_Color_Terminals
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Drop_256term.sh

cheers,
Pádraig.
