  Description     : Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.

Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator
that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. Ghostty is a terminal
emulator that differentiates itself by being fast, feature-rich, and
native. While there are many excellent terminal emulators available,
they all force you to choose between speed, features, or native UIs.
Ghostty provides all three.
---

This package is going to provide a powerful terminal emulator in the Debian
distribution. This is so that we can have even more terminal emulators
that will compete with all the existing terminal emulators.

i've got a deb up. if people want to try it out, use:

deb http://dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian unstable main
deb-src http://dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian unstable main

or download it directly:

https://www.dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian/pool/main/g/ghostty/

building it from source will require the zig-default package
available from the same server (and currently in NEW).

Any update for ghostty packaging? It would be great it ghostty can be
installed natively in Debian.
