  Description     : Remote terminal for the busy and impatient

 Eternal Terminal (ET) is a remote shell that automatically reconnects
 without interrupting the session.

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

Hey,

We are working on supporting all shells in our v6 branch that you can track
here: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/tree/v6 .  We have
thousands of users, so changing the protocol isn't something that we can do
lightly, but we want to support fish and other shells, so we will
definitely roll it out once it's ready.

But, it would be a shame if we can't get this into Debian main just because
we only support bash/zsh.  That doesn't seem like a good reason to block
the package.

Jason Gauci.

Hi folks,

It seems that the v6 branch has been completed and merged so the blocker
of shell support has been resolved.

Can we move forward with this package landing in debian?

I would love to not have to use a 3rd party repo

Thanks

Dean
