Subject: [PATCH] Fix 24-bit direct TTY colors on FreeBSD
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2020 06:49:31 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

FreeBSD only ships with /etc/termcap. However, termcap is limited to 2
arguments while RGB colors require 3. To support RGB add a fallback via
COLORTERM, using semicolon version for better compatibility.
