Hi!
I've uploaded to NEW, as the basic packaging looks good in general.
Thanks for that. I'll keep an eye on the NEW queue.
Integration with Debian conventions, though, requires some work.
The biggest problem: there's only a .service file but no init script,
making kmscon work only with systemd but not with any other init/rc
system.
I'd be happy to include an init script or even try my hand at one myself.
It fails to set term settings, making cooked mode not work until something
else (eg. bash) messes with them. This makes eg. backspace not work on
the login prompt.
There is definitely room for improvement. Upstream is very responsive,
so I will see what I can do.
It probably should run getty instead of inventing its own stuff. >
/etc/issue should be printed before the login prompt.
A similar issue was already reported upstream
(https://github.com/Aetf/kmscon/issues/24), but I agree that it's
something I should look into.
There's also a bunch of upstreamish issues, such as application keypad mode
not working, or failing to either support existing mouse daemons (such as
consolation) or providing its own mouse handling, but such stuff seems more
fit for the upstream bug tracker.
Meow!
