A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Alexander Malmberg <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: Terminal.app
System name: terminal
Type: 2
Description:
Terminal.app is a terminal emulator for GNUstep (and OpenStep in general, in
theory). It currently emulates a \\\'linux\\\' terminal, and does it well since
the terminal emulation code is based on linux\\\'s console code. The design
easily allows adding support for more terminals, but so far there are no
others. Scrollback, cutting and pasting, colors, and keyboard handling is
supported.
It also provides services to other GNUstep(/OpenStep) applications. (Services
are a way in which GNUstep apps extend each other. Somewhat simplified, using a
service automatically cuts the current selection from the app you\\\'re in,
sends it to the service provider (starting it if necessary), and pastes back
the result.) It is fully configurable, and comes with a small but nice set of
default services, eg. \\\'Define word\\\' (will run dict on a selected string
and display the results in a terminal window), \\\'Wrap to 72 columns\\\'
(pipes the selection through fmt).
It\\\'s stable, but not as robust as it could be. Everything can be configured
from the GUI. Things to improve or fix include font handling, handling of
different character sets, robustness, remembering open windows, and general
maintenance.
It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at
http://w1.423.telia.com/~u42308495/alex/Terminal-0.9.1b.tar.gz
(this is 0.9.1 with a few misc. changes and the issues from the registration
resolved (as far as I can tell).)
Other Software Required:
GNUstep (http://www.gnustep.org/ or http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnustep/)
Other Comments:
I\\\'ve used cvs locally when developing this, so it would be good if the
existing repository could be moved to the new one (to preserve history and
stuff). A tar-ball of the repository is at
http://w1.423.telia.com/~u42308495/alex/Terminal-cvs.tar.gz .
