|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05prefer-libtinfo-over-libcurses.patch | Prefer libtinfo over libcurses Try to link with -ltinfo before -lcurses to avoid a spurious dependency on systems where ncurses is built with "--with-termlib". |

| 60-screen-4.2.1-debian4.1.0-compatibility.patch | Patch to make 4.2.1 compatible with Debian's 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 packages 4.2.1 includes the Debian patches to extend the login name and $TERM length, but uses even larger values. This causes screen clients to no more be able to talk to older screen servers. See #644788 for a discussion of the same issue with earlier release combinations (4.1.0 vs 4.0.3). . For now this patch sets the mentioned values back to those which werew in use in Debian before (and seemed to be large enough for use in Debian). =================================================================== |

| 80_session_creation_docs.patch | Add lookup code for the creation time of each session. Requires digging in /proc/$pid and /proc/uptime, though, so it's definitely no candidate for the Beautiful C contest. . Affects screen's behaviour in the following situations: . * 'screen -ls' lists available sessions sorted chronologically * 'screen -RR' now picks the youngest session instead of an arbitrary one . Patch 1/3: documentation |

| 83_escape-opensuse-texinfo.patch | Escape literal "@opensuse" so texinfo 7 accepts the manual at-sign in the email address preserves the literal text. =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-02-07 | ||
| 84-rendition-bell-hardstatus-width.patch | Keep hardstatus window-list renditions in uint64_t width but AddWindows() still treats them as int before. Breaks %w/%Lw hardstatus renditions (style and most colour bits). =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-03-29 | ||
| 90-include-pty-header-when-openpty.patch | Include <pty.h> when openpty() is available so glibc builds succeed dpkg-buildflags, so glibc builds fail when configure sets HAVE_OPENPTY without providing a visible prototype. Pull in <termios.h>/<pty.h> and declare the fallback prototype so the build succeeds. =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-02-07 | ||
| 91-use-srcdir-in-cppflags.patch | Include $(srcdir) in CPPFLAGS so out-of-tree builds succeed in $(CPPFLAGS), so out-of-tree builds fail to find headers such as kmapdef.h. Include $(srcdir) explicitly so we no longer need to set a global -I.. from debian/rules. =================================================================== |

| 92-preserve-utf8-combining.patch | Keep UTF-8 combining sequences on UTF-8 displaysComment: Debian includes an autopkgtest for upstream bug #31336 / Debian #600246 ("screen outputs ΓΏ after combining character"). autopkgtest unicode-output.t (specifically subsequential-combining-diacritical.txt) is failing on 5.0.1. The test no longer finds the bytes fed through "screen" because every combining mark in UTF-8 mode blindly repaints the previous cell even when the attached display already speaks UTF-8. Keep the historical repaint in place for legacy displays, but skip it when the current display advertises UTF-8; keeping the byte stream identical for UTF-8 users and tests. =================================================================== |

| 93-mousetrack-texinfo-fix.patch | Add missing Mousetrack menu entry in Window Settings texinfo menuComment: Fix so we can build on older versions of texinfo (e.g. on Ubuntu Focal). =================================================================== |
