<p><span>Does not require gnome-shell or nautilus to be

<div>Hey, </div>

</div>
<div>thanks for dropping me a line here. It looks like the "Sept
27 email" went to my spam and unnoticed by me until prompted
by this email.</div>

</div>
<div>I can get the gnome-terminal slackbuild script tweaked to
build without nautilus and get the changes in for next weeks
update. It's been on my todo list with changes when I update
it, but I might as well do it now. </div>

</div>
<div>Regarding your request to take over: I'd still prefer to
maintain it and use it as my primary terminal emulator. You
mentioned wanting to take it over so you can submit an updated
slackbuild to ponce's slackware current repo. I was unaware
this is something we can do, but I can certainly do that as
well, if ponce is okay with me making pull requests to his
repo.</div>

The current maintainer is Bob Funk. He's an active maintainer,
last<br>
activity September 16, 2026, and he's responded to several
emails<br>
from me over the last 2 or 3 months. He maintains most of the
GNOME<br>
builds on SBo, and I don't feel good about giving one of his
builds to<br>
another maintainer without talking to him myself, or seeing a
reply<br>
from him on this mailing list.<br>

<br>
That seems like a good idea to me. Bob, you listening?<br>
