Hello, dear developers. I have preliminary xterm packages in http://people.debian.org/~ender/ I have tested the package to upgrade from 6.8.2.*-* packages and it works really well. It also removes old dangling symlinks (see #315195) and installs correct symlinks (again #315195). Note: it installs x-terminal-emulator.1x.gz, not ...1.gz. I thought that it should be in that way. One of the big wins is that I moved definitely the binaries from /usr/X11R6/bin to /usr/bin. The alternatives system reflects this change. Also, I chose the numbering scheme 204-1 to reflect patch #204 and so on. I did not want to use an epoch, and it the end it was not necessary. Before anyone comment on that, I *know* that Thomas released patch #205 on 18/9/2005, but that is not important. The fact is that xterm is now independent, and easily upgradable. The configure line is (apart from usual XXXdir=/usr...and so on): ./configure --enable-logging --enable-wide-chars --enable-luit --enable-256-color The copyright note is enough for me at this moment. I am waiting a reply from Thomas in order to make clear the license. If I overlooked something, please report it. I am waiting for your comments. Best regards, Ender. -- I am a married potato!
