Hi, I've been meaning to lend a hand to the XSF for quite some time now and after some discussion with David Nusinow on IRC I decided to go ahead and attempt to package xterm 212. The results can be found here[0]. The packaging is the same as for xterm-210 and I've only added a couple of patches to fix some lintian and linda warnings. The package is not completely linda clean, though: $ linda xterm_212-1_i386.changes W: xterm; Long descriptions contains short description. This one can probably be ignored. I think the descriptions are just fine. Check MenuCheck failed. Exception IndexError thrown (list index out of range). I have no idea what exactly this means. I will have to investigate further. W: xterm; File /usr/bin/xterm has incorrect file permissions of 2755. This can likely be fixed with a linda override; I will get to that right away. W: xterm; A binary links against a library it does not use symbols from Another point I will have to investigate further. I've tried a variation of linda flags but it wouldn't give me anything more specific than a more elaborate explanation. I was hoping it would show exactly which library it means. In a next step I plan to take a closer look at some of the bugs filed against xterm and maybe do some cleaning up of the BTS. Please let me know what you think.
