Status for minicom/2.11.1-2
| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01manual.diff | Adjust the manual to Debian's file layout and packaging minicom keeps its configuration below /etc/minicom in Debian (not the upstream /etc default), examples live under /usr/share/doc/minicom, and a short "DEBIAN SPECIFIC" section documents that minicom is not installed setuid root and that users must be members of the dialout group. This patch updates man/minicom.1 accordingly. |

| 02altscreen-segfault.diff | Fix crash on alternate-screen reset before any alt screen is open dec_mode() handles the DEC private modes 47/1047/1049 (alternate screen buffer). Its tear-down branch was entered for every reset (ESC [ ? .. l), even when no alternate screen had ever been opened, so us_alternate was still NULL. mc_clear_window_simple() then dereferenced that NULL window, crashing minicom -- reproducible e.g. when logging into RouterOS, which emits such a reset before any alternate screen is set up. . Guard the tear-down with a plain "if (us_alternate)". This is equivalent to the previous condition in every case where us_alternate is non-NULL and simply skips the (pointless) tear-down when there is nothing to tear down. |

| 04reproducible.diff | Drop __DATE__/__TIME__ banners for reproducible builds minicom embeds the build date and time (via __DATE__/__TIME__) into the --version output and into the welcome banner shown at start-up. Those values vary between builds and make the binary unreproducible. Remove the two banner fragments; the version number alone remains. |
