Bug#1064823: libvte-2.91-gtk4-0: Please enable SIXEL support when rendering regression issue was resolved in upstream

[Kentaro HAYASHI]

Package: libvte-2.91-gtk4-0
Version: 0.75.91-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: kenhys at xdump.org

Dear Maintainer,

 * What led up to the situation?

    It seems that there is sixel support, but not enabled yet.

    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/commits/master?ref_type=heads

    In vte-0-76 branch, upstream decided to remove Sixel support
    from stable branch.
    https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/commits/vte-0-76?ref_type=heads

    debian/latest branch on salsa.d.o follows as same.
    It is reasonable to follow upstream because there is blocker
    issue.

      Regression: Sixel rendering broken since native GTK4 drawing.
      https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2717

    For the record about status of supporting Sixel, I send a bug
    report.

 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     N/A

 * What was the outcome of this action?

     Sixel support will be enabled by default with VTE package in the
     future release.

 * What outcome did you expect instead?

     N/A
