emacs 24.3.50.1 and multi-term

[henry atting]

Because of changes in advice.el multi-term.el does not work anymore.
These changes surely mark the emerge into a bright future. But I hate
them because I can no longer use my beloved multi-term.
Unfortunately the development of multi-term is abandoned.

What I am missing above all is the possibility to open a term in a
dedicated window and close it easily.

From looking at multi-term.el's description, I'm a bit lost as to what it
does. I routinely have multiple ansi-shells running at any given time, all
inside one emacs instance.

When bumping into a problem while running development code, don't go
complain to the user's mailing list.  Instead, file a bug report.

But in this case that is not possible. If I would do so the emacs
developers would reject it because multi-term is not part of emacs, it
obviously is not a emacs but a multi-term problem. And multi-term is
orphaned...

The according function (ad-advised-definition-p) was deleted on
purpose[1], so a bug report would be no use.

Backward incompatibilities can be bugs as well.

With multi-term I could open a term in another window in the same
directory of the current buffer. Okay, that's not singular.
But then I could quit it without trace. When I quit a `normal' emacs
term always a buffer remains (``Process terminal finished'') which I
have to kill intentionally.
