Subject: [PATCH] meson: add -Dterminfo-install-location=disabled|custom-path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add a new meson option, ‘terminfo-install-location’, that allows you
to customize _where_ the terminfo files are installed, relative to the
installation prefix.

It also recognizes the special value ‘disabled’, in which case the
terminfo files are not installed at all. The terminfo files _are_
however built (allowing us to catch build errors), and foot still
defaults to the ‘foot’ terminfo.

It defaults to $datadir/terminfo

If (the other option) ‘terminfo’ is set to disabled (or tic cannot be
found), terminfo-install-location is automatically set to ‘disabled’.
