The solutions proposed in that post don't work well for me because I
like having a shared .bashrc and don't want to go making it super long
just to have a big list of hosts that don't support "*-256color".
I don't like your patch as-is. If ssh needs something like this, it
should be generic to any env var, not TERM specific. And then one could
argue that a shell wrapper function could do the same thing (but
wouldn't have identical destination parsing rules and would need config
to live elsewhere, so there is some value in having such functionality
in ssh itself).
Put something like this in your shell startup on the destination hosts
to avoid maintaining a host list anywhere or patching ssh:
# Optionally wrap in "if test -t 1" to only bother on a TTY
local TRYTERMLIST=''
case "$TERM" in
'rxvt-unicode-256color')
TRYTERMLIST='rxvt-unicode-256color rxvt-256color xterm'
;;
esac
if test -n "$TRYTERMLIST" && test -x "$(type -P infocmp)"; then
local T
for T in $TRYTERMLIST; do
if infocmp "$T" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
export TERM="$T"
break
fi
done
fi
Or, given that you appear to have a shared/dist'd home directory, just
copy the correct terminfo file(s) into your home dir and set TERMINFO.
