Thanks very much for testing it again.

 They are certainly not the same thing, i'll simply put in the lead
enlightenment devs response to someone else from the irc channel yesterday:

<bunjiboys> Hi, after a reinstall of my Debian box, I am no longer able to
get Eterm working. When i try to start it, it opens the window just fine,
but it never opens the shell. I tried settings different commands to run
using the -e switch to change what to execute, but it seems like it never
gets to that point. After running with both strace and --debug it looks
like it is stuck in a loop trying to read a socket (/tmp/.X11-unix/X0).
Strace output: https://bunjiboys
<raster> bunjiboys: no idea
<raster> i havent used eterm for over a decade
<raster> also note - thats the socket use to ttalk to x
<raster> so its talking to x all day
<raster> thats how you draw or get input
<raster> i use terminology
<raster> it's actively developed
<raster> and uses modern efl
<raster> eterm does not
<bunjiboys> I was hoping not to have to change terms, been using Eterm for
well over a decade now, just so used to it :)
<raster> then get used to it not working
<raster> or fix it yoursefl
<raster> http://git.enlightenment.org/apps/eterm.git/
<raster> thats the activity on it
<raster> one commit in march
<raster> another janruary last year
<raster> anoither in 2012
<raster> etc.
<raster> not very active
<bunjiboys> yeah, guess I do need to start shopping around for alternatives
<cippp> for sure you will like terminology
<raster> terminology is a far cry from eterm
<raster> it is pretty different
<raster> on the fancy-side it does a whole host more
<bunjiboys> well, i didnt really use most of the features of Eterm, I
disabled all the UI stuff and so on, its probably more an "Ive always used
it, so Ill keep using it" thing
<bunjiboys> Although, having been working on OSX recently, I wouldnt mind
something that comes a little closer to iTerm2
<raster> well then... you'll be needing to do your own debugging
<raster> as such enlightenment has moved on
<raster> we build on efl
<raster> (our libs)
<raster> eterm does not
<raster> it is effectively not part of enlightenment as a project anymore
<raster> it's legacy we don't work on, support etc.
<raster> it doesn't use our library infra
<raster> and doesn't even visually fit in
<bunjiboys> my point was that I'm not against finding something else, just
never looked
<raster> sure
<raster> just saying that if you don't move - you're not going to get any
help here
<raster> terminology is the "e terminal"
<raster> it uses efl
<raster> it's modern
