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

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

ET is used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide as a replacement for ssh in cases where people expect network disruption, such as when developing on a laptop or with unreliable Internet.

ET is already in Fedora and other package managers.  I maintain it myself and have automated much of the release process using docker and vagrant.  FreeBSD, OpenSUSE, and some other flavors are maintained by others.

Mosh is a popular alternative to ET. While mosh provides the same core
functionality as ET, it does not support native scrolling nor tmux control
mode (tmux -CC).

(further context:
   I have seen debian/control in the debian branch
https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/blob/debian/debian/control
)

I think that `Section: universe/net` is an Ubuntu thing.
Debian version would probably be "main", not "universe"
( https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/blob/debian/debian/control#L2 )

P.S.

Nice to see that you also have a ubuntu branch.
https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ didn't tell _me_ it
clearly, but you figured out that it does support multiple vendors.

Hello,

Jason Gauci, le dim. 14 mars 2021 04:38:27 +0000, a ecrit:

It would be useful to add the difference with mosh:

"
While mosh provides the same core functionality as ET, it does not
support native scrolling nor tmux control mode (tmux -CC).

Hi,

Might it be sensible to consider the full name "eternalterminal" (or
"eternal-terminal") for this package? This would take pressure off the
two-letter package name space, without giving up much (any?)
discoverability.

I'm fine with changing the name.
