Description Hans Meier 2010-10-27 15:43:15 UTC

Developer suggest to use only CVS Version of tmux

Terminal multiplexer

On FreeNode Channel #tmux

http://tmux.sourceforge.net/

I compile CVS version manually and works great.

Regards,



Reproducible: Always

-9999 ebuilds are very hard to support. A CVS snapshot would be preferred if upstream doens't intend/want to make a release.

Jeremy is right, a live ebuild is no replacement for a release or snapshot.

You're lucky though, because I like live ebuilds :)

I've committed tmux-9999. It is keyword-less, so you'll need to add

   app-misc/tmux **

to your /etc/portage/package.keywords to be able to emerge it.

enjoy :)
