Bug#900387: RFP: abduco -- lightweight session manager with {de,at}tach support



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : abduco
  Version         : 0.6
  Upstream Author : Marc André Tanner <mat@brain-dump.org>
* URL             : http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/
* License         : ISC
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : lightweight session manager with {de,at}tach support

abduco provides session management i.e. it allows programs to be run independently from its controlling terminal. That is programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen.

This package was included in Debian for a short while but was removed
due to the Debian package maintainer being inactive. abduco has a number
of advantagers over dtach that are described in the homepage and is
significantly more maintained. dvtm, a package by the same developer, is
intended to be paired with abduco for many use cases and already exists
within Debian.
