First, I had an ITP [0] open for quite a while. You can read there for some lengthy conversation of the problems you will encounter with respect to getting login to work properly with anyterm. In short, there is an excerpt from a conversation in #debian-devel regarding the issue which indicates that getting acceptance from the security team may be problematic. Additionally, you will note in my last message to #311597, that anyterm has been superseded by ajaxterm [1] and webshell [2]. If you look, you will see that ajaxterm is already in Debian [3]. As far as webshell, its open bug is only an RFP. I recommend that you first look at ajaxterm and see if it fits your needs. If so, then excellent. If not, then please consider packaging webshell. Since the WNPP bug open against it is an RFP, you can simply take ownership of it and change its title to an ITP. If you still feel that you must package anyterm, then please read the log of #311597 carefully and also please consider adopting rote [4] away from me. The rote package is needed for anyterm and is very low maintenance. However, I do not use it myself. I just kept it around in the event someone else came along and wanted to package anyterm. Also, I have packages of version 1.1.5 of anyterm. If you want them, I will happily email you the source package or place them somewhere where you can download them. They work but should still be considered a work in progress, which is why I never released them officially. Also, as a final recommendation, please merge your current anyterm ITP with the old one so that the information in the old bug log is not lost.
