I looked at a number of them:
> 17manpage_sessionname_warning.dpatch
Applied after slight modification.
(855b8e7b98894e8f94033945720714c235911262)
> 18manpage_maxwin_limit.dpatch
Applied after removing the note about debian.
(04005670529085ef8527608c0ec34b06569f0bd8)
> 20defmonitor.dpatch
Already in.
> 21manpage_nethack_activation.dpatch
Applied. (3b19a1d343e72e4fa786e9ab514d80303902a2c1)
> 25allow_symlink_sockdir.dpatch
Applied. (1e450254e75877b6bb5cacedd5466245dbb54576)
> 27doc_sty_noenvpassing.dpatch
Applied. (f6c4b82)
> 28blankerprg_callsemantics.dpatch
Applied in 52efeb8 after some change. Instead of unsetting blankerprg on
no argument, it will show the currently set blankerprg. To unset, use ''
as the argument. I have updated the man/info page accordingly.
> 31upstream_cherries.dpatch
Already in.
> 32misc_minor_fixes.dpatch
eh, I like that message :)
> 33increase_max_winmsg_renditions.dpatch
I think 256 is a bit too excessive. I am going to increase it to 128
instead, which I honestly think should be more than enough.
I am also considering increasing the oft requested window limit. That
will probably require a bit more work than just changing the define.
> 40cjk_eastasian.dpatch
Already in.
> 45suppress_remap.dpatch
I think this is incorrect. What keybindings are broken now? I think
17b43961982caa5132d98544addc4de3f89103db fixes at least part of the bug
this patch tries to fix. I need to know if keys other than the end-key
are broken.
> 50EXP_tilde_expansion.dpatch
Already in.
> 51EXP_session_creation_time.dpatch
Need to take a closer look. The idea sounds nice. But it doesn't look
like the implementation is very portable. I think it would be simpler to
add the timestamp of the session creation in the socket name, like we now
add just the PID.
> 56-source-file-not-found-warning.dpatch
I disagree with this change. I think the error message is appropriate.
> 58-show-encoding-hardstatus.dpatch
I don't like this patch. I wouldn't want more string escapes unless they
are really useful. In this case, I am not convinced that showing the
encoding in the caption is all that useful. This information is available
in 'info'. Is there a use case where that's not enough?
> 59-no-beep-on-write-acl.dpatch
Applied. (84b8ef5)
I can't get the rest of them at the moment, getting an "Internal Server
Error" from launchpad.
I plan to start looking at the fedora patches next, and the rest of the
debian/ubuntu patches.
Cheers,
Sadrul
