No longer works in latest Ubuntu/Debian
Two problems:
- Vim-gtk2 has vanished from Debian - it's just a dummy to install vim-gtk3
- Vte gtk2 version has vanished too
The first issue is easy enough to fix, and I have submitted a fix for it. The second is much harder as it requires updating the whole UI to gtk3 or finding an older package of python-vte, which is an exercise best left to the reader.
I'm considering the future of this project, and I think the best course is a new version which is entirely gtk3 + neovim. I will likely give it a new name/repository but spiritually this will be PIDA 3.0.
I still use a8 every day for work, so I really will need to be maintaining it.
Years ago I loved PIDA. Found a8 couple days ago but was not able to run it on U18.04 because of missing system parts.
