plans

[Rafal Maszkowski]

What I plan to do is:
- include my sockdr/status patch - I use it successfully since some 2 years
- probably include Bill's patch
- applying some Linux and GNU software distributions patches
- think about more consistent vi movement in the scroll buffer
- work on optimizing resize if time allows (my time resources are very tight)
- new zombie command argument is not described in the manpage


Patches from various distributions, debian and openpkg split, debian selected,
contents shortened or summarized:

debian/configure.in                     I am not sure yet
 AC_TRY_LINK(,tgetent((char *)0, (char *)0);,,
 olibs="$LIBS"
+if test -f /usr/lib/libncursesw.so ; then
+    LIBS="-lncursesw $olibs"
+fi
+AC_CHECKING(libncursesw)
+AC_TRY_LINK(,tgetent((char *)0, (char *)0);,,
 LIBS="-lcurses $olibs"
 AC_CHECKING(libcurses)
...
-AC_MSG_ERROR(!!! no tgetent - no screen))))))
+AC_MSG_ERROR(!!! no tgetent - no screen)))))))
...
-AC_TRY_LINK(,[vsprintf(0,0,0);], AC_MSG_RESULT(yes);AC_DEFINE(USEVARARGS), 
AC_MSG_RESULT(no))
+AC_TRY_LINK([#include <stdarg.h>],[va_list valist; vsprintf(0,0,valist);], 
AC_MSG_RESULT(yes);AC_DEFINE(USEVARARGS), AC_MSG_RESULT(
no))

debian/misc.c                           probably does not make sense

fedora/screen-3.9.11-no-stripping-or-elf.patch  do we need to link with libelf?

# we need this tweak for utf8encodings

fedora/screen-3.9.13-ia64.patch                 configure.in - needed prototype?

/tmp/screen-... ?
# The maintainers really didn't like this patch, and I couldn't
# reproduce the "access denied" problem on 4.0.1, so this
# patch is not applied for now.  We'll include it in the srpm
# in case someone else wants it.
