hi Chris,
here are my 2c about this:
- the main reason why there is no 'qterminal' in lxqt/razor/whatever DE
repo is - I want to make it as a multi-platform application. I use it on
X11 *and* OS X. So, for me, is not acceptable to bind it to any "DE
framework" etc. *The ability to be used on any (unix-like) platform is
the showstopper for me.*
- in old "razor-qt" times almost all razor developers used qterminal
and they provided patches or feedback. Also we made qterminal to fit the
DE look and feel etc.
- I'm really open to accept patches including patches with quite big
changes. For example the 'yakuake mode' - I accepted it without problems
even I find it quite useless feature (for me of course).
- definitely, I cannot do anything against your 'right to fork' ;) but
I'd like to see more cooperation instead of forking. But it's up to you
of course. No prob for me in any way.
- for some weeks I plan to release another milestone of
qtermwidget/qterminal to refresh packages etc. Just to have free time.
- FYI: 'qterm' name is already take (unfortunately) by another SW (a
BBS client)
cheers and thanks for interest,
petr
P.S.: I'm subscribing to lxde mailing list right now.
