My packages in COPR depend on libv8 but I can just bundle it so it's not a problem.

Self-Introduction: Eamon Walsh, TermySequence
Hello developers, My name is Eamon Walsh and I am submitting my terminal emulator multiplexer server and qt5 client, TermySequence. This is a terminal multiplexer capable of reconnecting to itself, designed for use with SSH and in containers. It supports iTerm2 shell integration, ls --hyperlink, and many other features. The project home page is linked below. I have worked with Fedora and RHEL for many years. In a previous job, I was an SELinux developer and made contributions to X.org and Xen. TermySequence is packaged in COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ewalsh/termysequence/ Review requests (will swap reviews): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1582983 Terminal multiplexer server, runs as systemd user service https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1583798 Qt5 Desktop application, client of the terminal multiplexer GPG: A9F5A4E0 Key fingerprint = 8BD0 C869 AAB0 7845 11E3 1100 A264 9BD7 A9F5 A4E0 -- Eamon Walsh https://termysequence.io pEpkey.asc Description: application/pgp-keys ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/JZBQRCFD6CYPLCYU23J5F424WLZAUF6X/
