Description Kim Garren 2013-01-11 19:37:09 CET
Description of problem: I have used tilda for a good amount of my experience with Linux (dating back as far as 2000), and find it far more useful than guake and yakuake, which lack features.
Since the influx of Gnome 3, guake does not work correctly. Its preferences dialog box is way too big for a laptop or netbook screen, so they can not be set, and it is quite a bit more a resource hog (as is yakuake) than tilda is. Tilda is lightweight, can be accessed nicely for its features, and even though no longer maintained, I much prefer it to any other terminal.
Mandriva indeed still maintained it when they went out, and Linux Mint still has it in their repos, but I am not finding it in Mageia 2 in any of the repos:

[root@dedanna ~]# urpmq -a tilda
No package named tilda

Of all of the repos, I have core, core updates, nonfree (and nonfree updates), tainted (also with tainted updates) active, and still can not find tilda anywhere.

There are quite a few distros that still carry it; Fedora is another one, and rpms that can be used from the Mandriva distro can be found in an rpmbone search here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=3&search=tilda&srodzaj=3

I, among others that I know running Mageia, would be quite thrilled if someone could possibly package tilda for Mageia. All that is known at this time, is that all it might depend on, is vte; see http://tilda.sourceforge.net/tildadoc.php

It really is a very nice drop-down terminal, and would enhance Mageia on the whole.

Thank you!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.6


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a search in the Mageia repos for tilda
2. Note that tilda is not in any of the repos
3.
