[ITP] tmux 1.8-271-gb3de4a3

[ITP] tmux 1.8-271-gb3de4a3

[Michael Wild]

Dear all

The popular terminal multiplexer tmux (http://tmux.sourceforge.net;
similar in functionality to GNU Screen) has recently gained Cygwin
support in its repository. Hence, I would like to propose that a
development snapshot be included in Cygwin (hence also the somewhat
strange version number).

tmux is part of many popular Linux distributions, e.g:

* Debian: https://packages.debian.org/stable/tmux
* Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/tmux
* OpenSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/package/tmux
* Fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/tmux

My proposed setup.hint:

category: Utils
requires: libevent2.0_5 libncurses10
sdesc: "Terminal multiplexer"
ldesc: "tmux enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and
controlled from a single terminal like screen. tmux runs as a server-client
system. A server is created automatically when necessary and holds a number of
sessions, each of which may have a number of windows linked to it. Any number
of clients may connect to a session, or the server may be controlled by issuing
commands with tmux. Communication takes place through a socket, by default
placed in /tmp. Moreover tmux provides a consistent and well-documented command
interface, with the same syntax whether used interactively, as a key binding,
or from the shell. It offers a choice of vim or Emacs key layouts."
test: 1.8-271-gb3de4a3-1

I specifically marked it as a test version, since it is a development
snapshot and no stable version containing the Cygwin support exists as
of now.

The package builds successfully and so far everything is working for me.

The package files are available for inspection and testing from:

Kind regards

Michael

Neat.  Apart from proposing to include the package, are you willing to
maintain this package in the Cygwin distro and help users on the cygwin
AT cygwin DOT com mailing list?  Also, did you see
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html?

These are only 32 bit packages?  Would you mind to provide the 64 bit
packages as well, please?


Thanks,
Corinna

That would be great.  I tried to build it for Cygwin years ago, but never
could get it to work.

I've been using tmux (from git) for ~2 months on Cygwin 32. Haven't
had any major problems. Tmux just released 1.9 (and 1.9a today) - any
reason why you can't use that version? But thanks for offering to
create the Cygwin package. It will hopefully help more people adopt
tmux on Cygwin.
