Package: roxterm
Severity: wishlist
Version 3.6.1

Hi,
it seems some people continued ROXTerm development on Github:

https://github.com/realh/roxterm

The major show stopper bug seems to be fixed - It builds on Stretch
(With a newer vte) and works like a charm.

Thanks

Hi,

I'd like to emphasize that it's not just "some people" who continue roxterm
(maybe an unofficial fork or so). It's _the original author_ who moved it
to a different location and is working on the project again.

... and he's also the maintainer of the Debian package, haha, I missed this
bit :)

Tony, do you feel like reviving maintenance of the Debian package, or
perhaps finding a new maintainer for it?

Thanks,
egmont

I was only a sponsored maintainer, and I found the release process a bit of
a pain to be honest. I would prefer it if a 3rd party maintainer could be
found. There wouldn't be much for them to do because I have kept the debian
subdirectory up to date - which also makes it easy for users to build their
own package straight from git, so I don't really see a huge demand for
making it official again.

 Ok,
maybe many of us _old roxterm users_ are using roxterm from github, but
having it in debian repos would be really appreciate. Just in SID or
experimental, maybe :-)

Thanks.

A roxterm lover.
