Maintainer

  • [ ] Would you like to be the maintainer for this package?

Why should this be included in the repository?

While similar to kitty: GPU Accelerated, customizable, image support, multiplexing, etc...

Wexterm stands out by:

Built with Rust Supports SSH session persistence natively (with a little configuration) unlike kitty. Configuration scripts are done via lua and I'd rather not have to translate my entire config to something else. Extensive and far more readable online documentation.

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

MIT, OFL-1.1

What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

Power users, developers, terminal enthusiasts, it's a fairly popular terminal emulator

Hey I'd like to maintain this package! I'm looking to contribute in general to Solus and I'm a big fan of wezterm.

That's great! Feel free to create a PR adding the package, and to reach out to us in the Packaging room on Matrix if you have questions.
