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: * http://wildcodes.com/cygwin/tmux/setup.hint * http://wildcodes.com/cygwin/tmux/tmux-1.8-271-gb3de4a3-1-src.tar.xz * http://wildcodes.com/cygwin/tmux/tmux-1.8-271-gb3de4a3-1.tar.xz * http://wildcodes.com/cygwin/tmux/tmux-debuginfo/setup.hint * http://wildcodes.com/cygwin/tmux/tmux-debuginfo/tmux-debuginfo-1.8-271-gb3de4a3-1.tar.xz Kind regards Michael
