Bug#305540: xterm: compile with --enable-256-color
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: wishlist
Could the Debian XTerm be compiled with --enable-256-color passed to
./configure ?
ELinks http://www.elinks.or.cz/download.html is a great textmode
webbrowser, and now it supports 256 color mode, which looks really great
(you have to use the CVS debs from
deb http://www.ffii.org/~miernik/debian sid main
to have it enabled), try it!
If there is a reason not to do it, could another package be provided
with xterm with 236 color enabled, or can someone recommend another
terminal emulatr which can do this?
