So now that we have tmux handling consoles for us, the rules for console
stuff have changed a little. Basically, anything in anaconda that deals
directly with VTs or /dev/tty* should be considered deprecated.
tmux has a fairly robust command set that will let you manipulate its
state (and thus what's shown on the user's console). For example, here
are some common tasks and possible replacements:
Old and busted: Sending log output to tty{3,4,5...}
New hotness: Send log output to log files; tail log in tmux window
Old: Run debugger in a new VT (e.g. tty6)
New: Run debugger in a new window:
`tmux new-window -n pdb "[debugger-command]"`
Old: Activate (switch to) debugger on tty6
New: Not needed (new-window automatically switches)
Old: Switch back to tty1 using isys.vtActivate
New: Switch back to first window:
`tmux select-window -t anaconda:1`
(Note that when you're specifying a window by hand, you can probably get
away with just `tmux selectw -t 1`, but in scripts inside anaconda we
probably want to specify the full [session-name]:[index])
For more details, consult the man page. Here's a link to it on the web:
