Jordi, I wanted to package aterm as well -- but Samuel beat me to it. The
problem is, he is not a debian developer, so he can't upload it. I have
just contented myself with putting this in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.via.ecp.fr/~sam/ debian/
And that is enough for me to be able to get the latest version from Samuel,
whenever he makes one available.
It is too bad that the only transparent-term built into debian is Eterm,
because that thing sucks more than twice as much memory and runs slower, but
when I am helping my friends set up their computers, I ensure they get that
line, and we all get our nice transparent terms without all the overhead,
and without breaking the debian packaging system by throwing it into local.
