[Moises Henriquez]

This package is missing some stuff from ADDRB including (but maybe not limited to) the following:

• gnome-python
• pyxdg
• notify-python

Even after installing these, the guake command still does not work. It produces the following output

[nightflier]

I suggest we remove package from repo.

[Moises Henriquez]

After spending some time on this and being unable to the a working package, we will have to do away with the existing packages. There are plenty of terminal emulator options included and available. The build script and assets will remain in this repo in case anyone decides to spend more time on this at a later time.
