Status for screen/5.0.2-1
| Patch | Description | Author | Forwarded | Bugs | Origin | Last update |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100-fix-vertical-resize-prompt.patch | Fix resize prompt units when no axis flag is given | Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-05-20 | |
| 103-fail-opentty-on-unapplied-baud-rate.patch | Error out when speed request is not actually applied Some tty drivers can silently keep a different speed than requested. Verify the applied speed after SetTTY and fail OpenTTY on mismatch. |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-08-06 | |
| 104-fix-caption-utf8-non-ascii.patch | Fix UTF-8 caption corruption for non-ASCII characters | Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-08-05 | |
| 105-fix-utf8-caption-hardstatus-padding.patch | Non-ASCII captions can skew hardstatus padding, causing a hardstatus to be under-padded or over-padded (thus causing an overflow to the next line). Calculate widths in cells, rather than bytes, so UTF-8 multibyte content does not affect padding lengths |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-08-23 | |
| 106-avoid-utf8-double-encoding-in-xterm-osc-forwarding.patch | Emit OSC title payload as raw bytes Avoid re-encoding already-UTF-8 data when forwarding to the terminal. | Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-08-24 | |
| 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 |
Jan Christoph Nordholz <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de> | 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 |
Jan Christoph Nordholz <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de> | no | debian | 2026-05-20 | |
| 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> | yes | 2026-02-08 | ||
| 95-preserve-defflow-on-reattach.patch | Restore the value of defflow after (re-)attachment. | David Fifield <david@bamsoftware.com> | no | 2026-08-05 | ||
| 107-force-absolute-cursor-restore-after-hardstatus-redraw.patch | Relative cursor accounting can desync when the hardstatus has non-ASCII characters, leaving the prompt/cursor on the wrong line. Switch to an absolute cursor restore. |
Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | yes | debian | 2026-08-08 | |
| 108-drop-deflogin-login-from-docs.patch | Debian builds screen with --disable-utmp. deflogin and login are therefore unavailable. | Peter Dey <debian@realmtech.net> | no | debian | 2026-08-24 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 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". |
Sven Joachim <svenjoac@gmx.de> | no | debian | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?filename=0001-Prefer-libtinfo-over-libcurses.patch;att=1;msg=14;bug=819789 | 2016-04-02 |
| 11replace_doc_paths.patch | Fix the references to configuration and pipe paths to match the locations Debian uses. | Jan Christoph Nordholz <hesso@pool.math.tu-berlin.de> | not-needed | 2026-08-05 | ||
| 26source_encoding.patch | Replace the composed characters with their respective description. | Ben Finney <ben@benfinney.id.au> | no | 2026-08-05 | ||
| 45suppress_remap.patch | Unbreak several useful keybindings. | Loic Minier <lool@dooz.org> | no | 2026-08-05 | ||
| 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). |
Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> | not-needed | 2026-08-05 | ||
| 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. |
Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> | no | upstream | 2026-05-19 |
