Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package/alacritty: new package
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:53:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830-alacritty-v1-1-a4965888e281@gmail.com> (raw)
Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible
defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with
other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it
manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance.
Although this project works both on Wayland and X11, it is for now only
enabled with Wayland support.
