someone refresh my memory about xterm pls
I have a few distros that I bounce back and forth on, and I swear I thought Slackware has xterm installed on it.
Because it is not there anymore. urxvt is the only basic terminal that seems to be installed on slack current in my system. well it just popped in to my head to check the changelog, Fri Dec 14 01:49:19 UTC 2018 ..... x/xterm-339-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. but Code:
$ ls /var/log/packages/xterm | grep xterm ut oh Code:
$ xfce4-terminal it did ask me if I wanted t delete a bunch of stuff during a few upgrade/dates ago, I said yes. |
You have to reinstall those packages :)
Code:
ls /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/xt |

I do however remember it had vte in the listings, having installed something using vte2 I didn't pay that much mind to it. I could essentially just mount this iso and loop its dirs issuing installpkg and it would theoretically install all missing packages? or would I just 'untar' it then Code:
find . -type f -name "*.txz" -exec installpkg {} \; isn't there two forms of package extentions being used in slack? MOD: nope I didn't think itd run a script, just trying to be fancy. |
I do not run current and you seem to have received answers that could help.
But here is a link I have about xterm itself that has a change log and links to source: invisible-island.net as far as I knew xterm comes as part of x.org, but now it seems to be in it's own package, which I never noticed prior to this post :) John |

Thanks @Didier Spaier for providing me with a current source and @Paulo2 providing me with a means to not have to look too hard to find what I needed to restore.
