| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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). =================================================================== |

| 61-default-PATH_MAX-if-undefined-for-hurd.patch | Define PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN if undefined Fixes FTBFS on GNU/Hurd because PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN are missing. | Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | no | upstream | 2026-05-19 | |
| 80_session_creation_docs.patch | Document session-creation timestamp behaviour for -ls and -RR | Jan Christoph Nordholz <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de> | no | debian | 2026-05-20 | |
| 81_session_creation_util.patch | Utility functions to compute session creation timestamps for chronological -ls and youngest -RR 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 |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | no | debian | 2026-05-20 | |
| 82_session_creation_core.patch | Use session creation timestamps for -ls ordering and -RR selection 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 |

| 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. =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | no | 2026-02-08 | ||
| 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 ÿ 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. =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-02-10 | ||
| 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). =================================================================== |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-03-30 | ||
| 94-query-at-windows-silent.patch | Keep -Q @windows output off the attached display screen -Q @windows should reply on the query socket only. Use query-aware output handling in ShowWindows() and pass command context at call sites reached by the windows command. |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian upstream | 2026-05-07 | |
| 95-preserve-defflow-on-reattach.patch | Restore the value of defflow after (re-)attachment. diff --git a/termcap.c b/termcap.c index b49818b..327a491 100644 |

| 97-fix-groff-manpage-warnings.patch | Fix roff syntax issues in screen.1 and declare tbl preprocessingComment: Add the standard roff hint to run tbl preprocessor Fix three manpage markup issues that trigger groff warnings: undefined quote strings (\*Q/\*U), invalid font escape (\fC), and a literal "..." line parsed as a macro. diff --git a/doc/screen.1 b/doc/screen.1 index 3ba7b2e..b2fdcdc 100644 |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | 2026-05-12 | ||
| 98-fix-uninitialized-buffer-with-padding-escape.patch | Fixes uninitialized buffer with padding escapes After a padding escape (i.e. '%10=' or '%030='), the returned buffer has the last byte not initialized, affecting the rendering. Return earlier so the advancing of the pointer is skipped, as it is not needed after the actual filling character. |
Daniel Serpell <daniel.serpell@gmail.com> | yes | debian | 2026-05-17 | |
| 99-fix-checkmaxsize-off-by-one.patch | Fix off-by-one in resize CheckMaxSize guard | Bernhard Übelacker <bernhardu@mailbox.org> | yes | debian | 2026-05-18 | |
