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
