While the original Termite maintainers recommend Alacritty now and stopped development, there are still reasons to use Termite—for example if your box does not have OpenGL or Rust does not work for your architecture.

This fork of Termite is actively maintained: it is kept updated with the latest VTE versions, fixes and new features get merged, and whenever enough changes are gathered in the main branch new releases are produced as well :)

Hello, conflicts termite-git is not needed

Dead upstream:

"Termite is obsoleted by Alacritty. Termite was a keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager with tiling and/or tabbing support."

The only thing it looks like docs is defined twice

Fixed, thanks for the feedback.

And also it looks like that your repo actually has one of the latest sources, for both termite and vt-ng.

Yes, vte-ng is just a fork of vte with:

  • the patchset from jelly to support termite text selection
  • a patch to support a static build of vte.

For termite, I use the official source. I have a fork with some additional patch: https://github.com/BarbUk/termite/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed which add some QOL changes:

  • smart_copy option (enable ctrl+c / ctrl+v for copy / paste)
  • require Control to be pressed to open URLs
  • allow to drag text or file in termite
  • configurable word character exceptions

I can package this version if someone is interested.

My plan is to support and update this package and keep vte up to date while I (slowly) migrate to Alacritty.

The only thing it looks like docs is defined twice -D docs=true and -D docs=false.

Thanks, @barbuk. I didn't know that you've already invested your time into it. I've tested in a Docker and it correctly builds in a fresh archlinux system. And also it looks like that your repo actually has one of the latest sources, for both termite and vt-ng.

I have an up to date pkgbuild here if it can help: https://gist.github.com/BarbUk/3a5dcf6df28ba2523ed68023f06fbbdf

It uses my fork of termite and vte-ng 0.64.2. It build against git+https://github.com/thestinger/termite.git#tag=v15 too, the important part is the vte version.

hurufu commented on 2021-08-03 11:15 (UTC)

Sorry guys, but even if it's deprecated at least it should build. We can't leave a package in AUR in this state. I'll try to tinker with it during the weekend.

Powersource commented on 2021-08-03 08:47 (UTC)

Termite is not maintained anymore and the developer recommends using alacritty instead https://github.com/thestinger/termite/

Experiencing the same issue fwiw

gnutls 3.7.2-2
gtk3 1:3.24.30-1
pcre2 10.37-1
termite-terminfo 15-3
vte-common 0.64.2-2
git 2.32.0-1
gperf 3.1-3
gtk-doc 1.33.2-1
intltool 0.51.0-6
ncurses 6.2-2

Also seeing the package maintainer just abandoned the package and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Termite says it is time to move to alacritty.

Hi, it looks like build is failing on a fresh archlinux system:

Do you have any idea why this can happen? Maybe you have to checkout to a different commit for libvte?
