Description Ralf Fischer 2005-09-30 05:27:45 UTC
Hi there,

I've written a small ebuild for omnitty [1], what is some kind of ncurses based
cluster ssh client / multiplexer. 

On the left-hand side there's a list of hosts you're connected to, whereas in
the right-hand area you see the IO of the underlying ssh session, which is
selected in the list on the left. You can mark sinlge ("select") several hosts
you send input to all marked ones, when switching to "multicast-mode". 

For me this package was very helpful as I've to grep logfiles on several hosts
for changing patterns. As I have no direct IP access to this hosts (I've to jump
over a "gateway server" for security reasons), with omnitty I could do it on all
clusters at the same time, without having any dependencies to X.

Omnitty depends on libc, ncurses and rote, which is currently also submitted as
#107694 .

Omnitty snapshot from local portage overlay

A .tar.bz snapshot of my local portage overlay. 

It includes also an patch for omnitty which allows to set the with of the
right-hand terminal area. Currently this is fixed to 80 columns.

- einstall is an ugly workaround used for very broken Makefiles, better use 
"make DESTDIR="${D}" install" if possible
- the semicolons are superfluous

omnitty-0.3.0.ebuild

Attached ebuild against last version, haven't tried the patch so that's the only thing left that needs to be added back (in a src_prepare function).
Comment 10 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2020-09-18 20:49:28 UTC
this was the last release. Upstream seems to be dead since 15 years.
