Hello ChangZhuo,

I don't know if you are still working at EternalTerminal, but I  would
not consider it mature enough for inclusion in Debian until the issue of
its (undocumented) hard dependency on the user's shell is properly
addressed:

https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/issues/106

When I opened that issue I was considering packaging EternalTerminal for
Debian. I have somehow lost interest when I saw that upstream was not
interested in fixing what I did consider an important shortcoming.

Cheers,

Paride
