Package: screenie
Version: 20120406-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I don't literally have a patch attached, but what I propose might be
acceptable to you.

In /usr/bin/screenie, you have:

# You can redistribute and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl
# itself.

my $SCREEN = 'screen -L'; # optionally configure location of screen

$0 =~ s{^.*/}{};


If you notice, I initialized $SCREEN with the '-L' option. This option
is used to enable logging in GNU Screen.


Currently, to my knowledge, there is no interface in screenie, to pass
the screen options to it. GNU Screen is powerful. But by the interface
limitations, screenie makes it look stripped.

It would be wise to have a system wide config file (from /etc/default/
or /etc/screenie) sourced, to provide an interface to the user to pass
sane screen options.
