I'm not very happy with having 2 outdated copies of vte in our repos though, it's another old library that will not receive any maintenance at all. I only want to package the older version in our repos if someone can assure me that it will stay active for only 6 months, after that it should disappear from repos and all applications that haven't been ported should die together with it.
So as not to delay the Gnome 3.14 move even longer, I went ahead and added vte290 to [testing] and rebuilt roxterm, sakura and tilda against that in [community-testing]. I also moved etc/profile.d/vte.sh into vte-common 0.38.0-2. I hope you are OK with the above changes; of course, once these three terminal emulators add support for vte-2.91, we can go ahead and drop vte290. When you do move Gnome 3.14 to the stable repos, please also move vte290 to [extra] and the following packages to [community]: cairo-dock cairo-dock-plugins giggle nemiver pantheon-terminal remmina roxterm sakura tilda
