Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Evan Hanson ev...@foldling.org * Package name: abduco Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Marc Andre Tanner m...@brain-dump.org * URL : http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : abduco provides session management, allowing programs to be run independently from their controlling terminals That is, programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen. abduco is in many ways very similar to dtach but is actively maintained, contains no legacy code, provides a few additional features, has a cleaner, more robust implementation and is distributed under the ISC license. I use this program and find it a nice alternative to the others mentioned. I will maintain it, but will need a sponsor. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
