configure.in.diff Remove de-ANSI-ficcation Bastian Germann <bage@debian.org> not-needed
gettext_require_version.diff Add AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION to fix autopoint FTBFS configure.in calls AM_GNU_GETTEXT (turned into AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) by
gettext_external.diff) but never declares a gettext infrastructure version.
Modern autopoint (gettext >= 0.18; sid currently ships 0.26) then falls back
to the pre-versioning 0.10.x scheme, requests the long-removed
gettext-0.10.32 layout and aborts autoreconf with "requires the
infrastructure from gettext-0.10.32 but this version is older". Declaring a
modern minimum via AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION([0.19.8]) gives autopoint a
valid version to work from; the newer gettext installed on the build host is
used at build time.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed 2026-06-04
po_makevars_linguas.diff Add po/Makevars and po/LINGUAS for the modern gettext infrastructure Declaring AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION makes autopoint replace the 1998-era
po/Makefile.in.in with the one from the host's gettext (>= 0.19). That modern
Makefile.in.in has a build rule depending on po/Makevars, which this package
never shipped, so make aborts with "No rule to make target 'Makevars'".
.
po/Makevars carries the canonical gettext variables (message domain, xgettext
keywords, copyright holder, ...). po/LINGUAS lists the translations to build;
without it the modern infrastructure reads an empty language set and silently
drops the existing German catalogue (de.po), so it is added with "de".		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed 2026-06-04
compiler_warnings.diff Fix the remaining compiler warnings in the C sources Targets the warnings that survived warnings.diff, all in src/:
.
* lsyslog.c (-Wformat=): the dszlog() fprintf() uses %ld conversions but
passed plain int arguments (cps*8, cps and the -1 serial-number literal).
Passing an int where the format expects a long is undefined behaviour in
a variadic call and prints garbage on ABIs where int and long differ in
size. Cast those three arguments to long.
* lsyslog.c, lrz.c, zm.c, canit.c, lsz.c (-Wunused-result): the return
values of write(), system() and vasprintf() were discarded, which the
fortified glibc headers flag. Consume them explicitly: the best-effort
write()/system() calls are wrapped in "if (... ) { }" guards, and on a
vasprintf() failure the target pointer is set to NULL so that the later
syslog() and free() operate on a well-defined value.
.
No functional change beyond the vasprintf() NULL safeguard.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed 2026-06-04
1105467_shuffle_install_order.diff Fix FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse automake wires install-exec-local into install-exec-am next to
install-binPROGRAMS but does not order the two. install-exec-local hard-links
the already-installed binaries (sz, rz), so it only works because make happens
to honour the prerequisite list order. With make --shuffle=reverse it runs
before install-binPROGRAMS, the link targets do not exist yet and ln aborts
with "failed to access '.../usr/bin/sz'". Make the ordering explicit.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed debian
57884_syslog_locale_timestamp.diff Keep syslog timestamps locale-independent lrz and lsz call setlocale(LC_ALL, "") so that gettext picks up the user's
language. That also sets LC_TIME, which the C library's syslog() honoured when
formatting the per-message timestamp, so sz/rz lines in the system log carried
a translated month name (e.g. the Bulgarian month abbreviation in #57884)
while every other line stayed in English. Only message translation needs the
environment locale, so reset LC_TIME back to "C" right after; this leaves
gettext and LC_CTYPE untouched and has no effect on the programs' own output
(their sole strftime use is the numeric "%H:%M:%S").		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed debian
156249_xmodem_block_counter.diff Fix the XMODEM "Blocks received" counter past block 255 wcrx() reported wcgetsec()'s return value, i.e. the raw one-byte XMODEM block
number, which wraps 255 -> 0 -> 1. From block 256 on the counter therefore
restarted at 0; because report() redraws the line with a bare carriage return,
the shorter new number left the trailing digits of the previous one on screen,
so "256" showed up as "055", "257" as "155" and so on. Report the running,
non-wrapping sector total (sectnum) instead, and only once a block has actually
been accepted. The counter now climbs monotonically (...255, 256, 257, ...),
which also removes the stale-digit artefact since its width never shrinks.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed debian
fix_siginterrupt_deprecation.diff Replace deprecated siginterrupt() with sigaction() siginterrupt(SIGALRM, 1) in lrz.c/lsz.c flagged the C library so that the
SIGALRM handlers later installed with signal() in zreadline.c and tcp.c would
not set SA_RESTART, i.e. the timeout alarm interrupts the blocking
read()/accept()/connect() instead of restarting it. siginterrupt() is now
deprecated (-Wdeprecated-declarations). Install those three handlers directly
with sigaction() and sa_flags = 0, which expresses the same "do not restart"
semantics locally, and drop the now-unneeded siginterrupt() calls. No
behavioural change; sigaction() is POSIX and always available on Debian.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed
618357_manpage_remove_test_mode.diff Drop documentation of the non-existent sz -T/-TT test modes The lsz.1 manual page still described two test/diagnostic modes inherited from
Chuck Forsberg's original sz: a "sixth form" sz -TT that supposedly dumps all
256 byte codes to the terminal, and a "TESTING FEATURE" in which sz -T file
exercises the Attn error-recovery sequence. Neither exists in lrzsz: -T is
bound solely to --turbo (turbo_escape). A user following the manual therefore
ran "sz -TT", which is just --turbo twice, and got a normal (failing) transfer
to the terminal instead of a diagnosis (Debian #618357). Remove the stale -TT
synopsis form, the "sixth form" paragraph, the "TESTING FEATURE" section and
the orphaned BUGS sentence so the page matches the actual behaviour.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed debian
206499_ymodemg_doc.diff Clarify in lsz.1 that YMODEM-g must be requested by the receiver The sb manual page advertises YMODEM-g support, which led to the report that
the feature was "nowhere to be found" (Debian #206499): YMODEM-g is in fact
implemented on the send side (sb streams without per-sector ACKs once the
receiver sends 'G' instead of the usual start character), but the receiver
shipped with lrzsz (rb/rz) cannot request it, so a user driving both ends with
this package never sees it. Add a note to the sb description spelling out that
sb never enables YMODEM-g on its own and that lrzsz's own rb does not request
it, so a separate receiving program is required. Documentation only.		 Martin A. Godisch <godisch@debian.org> not-needed debian
