Eterm for Debian ================ This is a pre-release of Eterm 0.9.1 from the Eterm CVS tree. There are many Eterm changes that are differ vastly from the 0.8.x branch and some for 0.9. Customized themes may be broken as well. I suggest reading the man page to see the new options. terminfo ======== Synopsis: use TERM=Eterm environmental variable setting or expect terminal, keyboard and display, problems. This counts for old themes you have in $HOME/.Eterm/themes, setting TERM in shell scripts, setting TERM from the commandline, etc. The HOME/END key and other term problems are solved with a proper Eterm terminfo entry. Unfortunately, many systems do not have an up-to-date ncurses/terminfo database with the Eterm definitions. You can copy the terminfo entries from the local systems to your HOME directory on a remote. /usr/share/terminfo/E/Eterm -> $HOME/.terminfo/E/Eterm /usr/share/terminfo/E/Eterm-color -> $HOME/.terminfo/E/Eterm-color You may also have to set/export the TERMINFO variable in your shell environment. TERMINFO=$HOME/.terminfo colors ====== The default font color has also been changed from white to gray, the correct color, in the new terminfo definitions. See terminfo(5) for information on changing set_foreground and set_background. Alternatives are using Eterm's command line color options (-f or -b) and background or foreground in Eterm's themes.
