These seem sane to me... Added bapt@ since he's been doing the terminal stuff lately.

This looks fine to me. I guess it was generated with infotocap st.info from https://git.suckless.org/st/file/st.info.html?

Yes, that's right. The actual command was: tic -C -K -s -x st.info.

note that it is not necessary anymore to add/update this in termcap, since the last work on ncurses, terminfo installed in localbase takes precedence over termcap, so if you install the right terminfo via the sterm package then it will just work without conversion to termcap, which was the point of doing that.
see what the x11/foot package is doing.

Oh, thanks, I didn't know that. I tried it now and it indeed works.

But I guess it still would be a good idea to make termcap entries for st up-to-date with 0.9.2, since we already have them for 0.8.

agreed

I think this is probably fine, since IME it's fairly common for one to build+install these suckless tools from source so that it's easier to customize them.
