Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 269741
Move UI tools to another sub-package
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:14 EST
I have avahi-tools installed because elisa uses the Python bits from avahi. I'd rather not have the "Avahi VNC server browser" (vinagre has the local browser integrated, and bvnc is missing a dependency on xvncviewer). The SSH browser should be integrated in gnome-terminal. In the meanwhile, those 2 utilities should be split from the avahi-tools package (the command-line utilities are useful as debug tools, the UI programs aren't).
hmm? how should bssh be integrated into gnome-terminal? The primary use case of bssh is to start it from a shell, quickly select a ssh server with your arrow keys and pressing enter to connect. It's an exceptionally useful tool. And I see no sensible way to integrate it into gnome-terminal. (Not that I wouldn't agree to split it off into seperate packages, ...)

And I see no sensible way to integrate it into gnome-terminal. a menu item to allow entering SSH connection details, with the possibility of browsing for local computers, a-la MacOS X. > (Not that I wouldn't agree to split it off into seperate packages, ...) Cool :)
Have you filed a wishlist bug for gnome-terminal?

Hmm, I would love to see this implemented in gnome-terminal, although the screen integration stuff sounds like crack to me. I split avahi-ui-tools now of in rawhide. koji just finished building.
