Dear Maintainer,

please consider enabling sixel support for libvte. At the moment this
prevents images from rendering in vte-based terminals. While it is still
experimental I think this could be enabled so users can test the feature
and report possible bugs.

best,

Control: reassign -1 src:vte2.91 0.74.1-1

It's not only "experimental" but upstream keeps removing the WIP sixel
feature before finalizing each new stable release major series.

See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253

Thank you,
Jeremy Bicha

Control: tags -1 + wontfix

I think we would be doing our users a disservice to be enabling a
feature that upstream specifically does not think is ready. If you would
like to test sixel rendering and help to fix its bugs, I would recommend
compiling a local libvte from source and doing development there.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/253#note_1872962 has a
description of the known unresolved issues in the sixel feature. Until
upstream believes those issues have been resolved, I don't think we
should be touching this in Debian (hence the wontfix tag). The packaging
of upstream software in Debian is a place to do integration and QA, not
major feature development, and the only sustainable way to add features
is "upstream first".
