openembedded-core.git/scripts/oe-gnome-terminal-phonehome, branch pyro Mirror of openembedded-core terminal: Fix gnome-terminal to work with recent versions 2016-07-08T09:50:00+00:00 Richard Purdie richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org 2016-07-06T16:08:57+00:00 76e8ab47c936674b8bb9bf1c48de53b30f5bf74a Currently gnome-terminal just returns straight away, opening a terminal in a new separate process we have no insight into. For patch resolution, this leads to spawning many different terminal windows, for pydevshell, it just flashes a window up and then closes. We need to block until the command completes but gnome-terminal gives us no way to do this. We therefore write the pid to a file using a "phonehome" wrapper script, then monitor the pid until it exits.
