I realized, that in its current state the MiniTerminal is not really
helpful while trying to get attaching gdb to a crashed app working
properly. The main problem is that I have a good deal of debug output that
goes into the terminal so that earlier output is lost due to missing
scrolling support (or is there a way to scroll and I missed it?). Also not
so nice, but probably bearable is that the general text output speed
(especially when scrolling) is really slow (I use qemu, so things are
generally a bit slower).
Stable and ready AFAIK for production use. There are some minor features
that existed in R5 which are not implemented yet (search, log to file,
etc). but for its normal use, it works fine. I have been using it to
stand in for R5's on my workhorse machine and I'd say it works pretty
well. Andrew Bachmann knows more about why things are organized the way
that they are. The sources to use are in the MYOB folder and even then
there are files which are not used. While I've worked on some patches
and UI work, it's not my baby, so I've been reluctant to nuke files,
move files, or do anything to really rock the boat, so to speak.
What is the state of app server scrolling support in general? IIRC the last
time I had a look at Playground, something was still broken.
Unless there are better options I would add scrolling support to
MiniTerminal, if necessary even hacking a bit to circumvent app server
scrolling support.
Barring problems with support from the server, I can't see why our
Terminal should be a problem when booting Haiku. I'll see if I can toy
with it again tomorrow.
