Comment 101 for bug 1030562

Hello,

I build terminator/gtk3 branch on Xenial 16.04.
For what it's worth, here the clean-up recipe I used:

# Get terminator/gtk3 sources
sudo apt install bzr
bzr branch lp:terminator/gtk3
cd gtk3

# Apply latest patches
sudo apt install bzrtools
bzr patch <(wget -O - https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1520377/+attachment/4526119/+files/terminator-1520377-stale-tab-title.patch)
bzr patch <(wget -O - https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1522542/+attachment/4535308/+files/terminator-1522542-rotate.patch)
bzr patch <(wget -O - https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1520969/+attachment/4633044/+files/terminator-1520969-distribute-evenly-v3.patch)

# Install dependencies
sudo apt build-dep terminator
sudo apt install gir1.2-keybinder-0.0 gir1.2-keybinder-3.0 libkeybinder-3.0-0 build-essential intltool libgtk-3-dev gobject-introspection libgirepository1.0-dev valac terminator
sudo apt install cdbs

# ... and quick fix for python-support
# (a better solution would be to apply https://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2)
sudo apt install dh-python
sudo ln -sf dh_python2 /usr/bin/dh_pysupport

# Change version and build
debchange --newversion 1.97~ppa3~local --distribution xenial-proposed "gtk3 branch with patches 1520377, 1522542, 1520969"
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -d

# Install
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i terminator_1.97~ppa3~local_all.deb

I joined the .deb in attachment.

I'm going to use this everyday from now on, in particular see how it works with latest neovim.
