Details

If a terminfo file contains non-standardized entries, it will usually drop those when just installed with the default settings. However there is the `-x` option that allows treating those entries as user-defined and adding them as extended table entries (see tic(1M)).

We've recently updated our installation instructions upstream (see https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/blob/master/INSTALL.md#terminfo), but it seems like this has not propagated down to the Archlinux package yet. Other terminfo packages seem to do the same (see https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/termite#n65), so it's probably best to follow suit here, since it's likely to cause bugs (see https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/pull/2134).
This task depends upon

For what its worth, I've created an updated PKGBUILD for Alacritty v0.3.2 that takes into account the packaging changes in v0.3.0+ (including the terminfo fix mentioned here). Complete PKGBUILD and diff against current Arch v0.2.9 PKGBUILD here:

I have released alacritty 0.3.2 into community-testing with this fix (and a downstream fix for semi-transparency), can someone please try the package in community-testing for whether it fixed the issue?

Installs and runs fine for me. Tested with htop and it's working fine. I don't use transparency though so I can't comment on that.
