   The situation is actually not that bad - see https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/1dbujal/information... for more follow-up information. TL;DR: Termux is coming back to Google Play! While it's c

   A properly written trigger shouldn't throw away data silently. It should raise an exception, which indeed would cause the query to fail, and roll back the whole transaction (so no side effect is committed at all). https://ww

   Note that you can use mosh on Android using Termux ( https://termux.com ) - run 'apt update && apt install mosh' to install the mosh package.

   When you 'apt install coreutils' in Termux you get coreutils installed as a multi-call binary to save space. 1556 kB for the package in total (including man pages).

    Great, thanks :). Let me know if you miss any font or colour theme from it!

    Great! Yes, I've been experimenting with ARM64 packages, will look at it more when things settle down a bit. Nice, let me know if there is a font or colour theme you miss from it!

    Thanks - this is now fixed, if you do an 'apt update && apt upgrade' it should now work!

    Correct, it won't work for secondary users! It's a trade-off for avoiding a fake chroot.

    Thanks! Is it the make program itself which tries to run /bin/sh, or does it try to run a file from a project which has a #!/bin/sh start? If it's GNU make itself which tries to call /bin/sh directly, that

    Yes, the repository is an app-specific one, containing cross compiled (and sometimes patched) packages to run directly without chroot. Just tell me about desired packages (such as picolisp) and I will look into adding them!

    I think TerminalIDE is rather similar, with Termux having more up-to-date packages and terminal emulation. Since Termux requires Lollipop or later, and TerminalIDE only works on Android versions prior to lollipop, TerminalIDE could be an al

    Thanks, KBOX have been one of the inspirations for the app! The main technical difference between how Termux and KBOX runs packages is that is that KBOX uses libfakechroot for running binaries under a fake chroot environment, while Termux r

    Thanks! I'll think about making the source more obvious in the store listing or the app interface.

    Yes, Android 5.0 or later is required due to the libc changes made in lollipop. It also requires an arm(64) or x86(_64) cpu - no mips support at the moment!
