Description NHO 2025-01-05 07:05:22 UTC
There's a number of serious build bugs
https://bugs.gentoo.org/873631
https://bugs.gentoo.org/889276
https://bugs.gentoo.org/714142
https://bugs.gentoo.org/875062
that can't be fixed without rewriting software in modern C. Original code is from 1996 and has warnings at the time that it's non-maintainable.
There's no maintainers, theoretical patches that exist in some of the bugs above aren't merged.
Closest thing to upstream we have is either https://github.com/hrs-allbsd/kterm/tree/kterm-6-freebsd or https://bogytech.blogspot.com/search/label/kterm but neither of them looks alive or cares about build failures.
It's leaf node. It uses obsolete build system (iterm)
It doesn't appear to be of any value except as historic curiosity.



Reproducible: Always

I do not know why I wrote iterm instead of actual build system, imake. My apologies.
Point stands.
