Status for kmscon/9.2.1-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
0001-Change-kmsconvt-.service-to-match-getty-.service.patch Change kmsconvt@.service to match getty@.service
Edit kmsconvt@.service based on the getty@.service provided by
systemd.

Also modify the ExecStart line, and explicitly specify $TERM to
be xterm-256color:

kmscon does not come close to fully supporting everything xterm does, but
setting TERM to xterm-256color only perpetuates the lie that kmscon already told
its children before.
In time either kmscon needs to support (more of) xterm's behavior or it needs
to use another TERM value.

The latest upstream kmscon release already have a default value of
$TERM of xterm-256color. This portion of patch should be dropped once
we have kmscon (>= 9.2.1).
