Dear mentors, I packaged quadkonsole (ITP #409405) by Simon Perreault using standard debhelper. It's lintian/linda clean. In order to get rid of the rpath encoded in the binary, I resorted to chrpath. In the new maintainers guide I am told to edit the Makefile.am and Makefile.in files. However, the autoconf magic of the upstream code (which was generated by kdevelop, I believe) is so complicated that I decided to stop here and see what people with some experience think. You can review the package in my repository deb http://www.uft.uni-bremen.de/chemie/ranke/debs sid-jr/ or use dget http://www.uft.uni-bremen.de/chemie/ranke/debs/sid-jr/quadkonsole_2.0.1-1.dsc The package description: Description: KDE terminal application embedding Konsole kparts in a grid layout Compared to starting several Konsole instances next to each other QuadKonsole has the following advantages: . Saves memory. Faster startup. You don't need to align your konsole windows by hand. You have a lot more screen real estate. Navigation is easier, using arrow keys. All konsoles can be minimized/maximized at once. QuadKonsole occupies only one slot in the taskbar. . Some drawbacks are: . No session management No execution of startup commands. Please Cc: me as I am not on the list.
