Jordi, I wanted to package aterm as well -- but Samuel beat me to it. The problem is, he is not a debian developer, so he can't upload it. I have just contented myself with putting this in my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.via.ecp.fr/~sam/ debian/ And that is enough for me to be able to get the latest version from Samuel, whenever he makes one available. It is too bad that the only transparent-term built into debian is Eterm, because that thing sucks more than twice as much memory and runs slower, but when I am helping my friends set up their computers, I ensure they get that line, and we all get our nice transparent terms without all the overhead, and without breaking the debian packaging system by throwing it into local.
