# wterm

Resize (I did with modkey + mouse) and try to bring the right side past the left side (like if you wanted to resize to width 0).

Crash!

Comment 1 Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-11-12 14:14:23 UTC
I can confirm this, did some debugging but failed.

does not reproduce in "gdb wterm ; run"
Comment 2 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-11-24 17:15:51 UTC
Looks like upstream is dead, I would vote for simply treecleaning this
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-03-18 12:21:47 UTC
dropped
Comment 4 augury 2012-11-06 01:37:28 UTC
Hey, I use this terminal on a regular basis!!!!!

I run the script:

 #/bin/bash
 source /etc/profile
 wterm -sl 70000 -si -sk -st -sr -bg black -fg white  -geometry 146x36 -ut  -C -title '' -fn


and it work 100%, the greatest terminal I've got.

Please put this terminal back into portage so that I, and everyone else, can emerge it.



 re:

Why would I want to do that?  I'm not able to reproduce this error but there if it is just "integer parameter out of range for operation" the fix should be relatively simple.

show us an active fork

otherwise... last release is from 2005. If I had to change something in the build system I would need to rewrite it from scratch (cause almost all autotools macros would be broken).

So to start someone would have to:
a) fork it
b) fix this bug
c) rewrite the entire build system

This bug is closed. The package is gone. Please don't write anymore on this bug cos nobody will do anything to please you.

I will re-include wterm if there is a proper fork, so I don't see a reason not to write here.

The process will be similar to any other ebuild. Open a bug assigned to maintainer-wanted@ and let someone handle this. The new package (must of course) solves all the problems that lead to the previous one dropped from the tree. This is what we did/dofor resurrected packages.
