Hi, I just looked through the commits on https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/log/?h=screen-v4 since the 4.5.1 release and wondered, if there speaks anything against releasing them as 4.5.2.
Why? Because I'd cherry-pick for Debian 7 of the 10 screen-v4 commits
made since 4.5.1:
11 days Add more serial speeds
Amadeusz Sławiński 1 -26/+37
`-> This would fix a bug reported against Debian's screen package.
2017-05-30 screen: don't stat("")
Christian Brauner 1 -1/+2
2017-04-18 add compat layer to handle both fifos and sockets
Christian Brauner 8 -352/+365
2017-04-06 screen: handle pts devices in different namespaces
Christian Brauner 6 -73/+163
2017-03-24 handle pty device from different namespace
Christian Brauner 1 -2/+10
`-> These commits are already cherry-picked in Ubuntu's screen package
and I'd also add them to Debian's screen package to reduce the
difference to Ubuntu's package.
2017-03-22 fix mixing external & internal TERM Samuel
Thibault 1 -0/+2
2017-02-28 [PATCH] fix texinfo syntax errors Andreas
Stieger 1 -2/+2
`-> These commits are already cherry-picked in Debian's and in
Ubuntu's screen package.
Leaves only these three commits which I have no direct reason to
cherry-pick them (which does not mean that I don't want them to be
included, in contrary):
2017-04-18 fix typos
Amadeusz Sławiński 2 -3/+3
2017-04-06 fix restoring cursor position after leaving altscreen
Amadeusz Sławiński 2 -1/+9
2017-03-01 Cleanup patch for man page Eric S.
Raymond 1 -1165/+1262
So I propose to release the current state of the screen-v4 branch more
or less as it is as GNU Screen 4.5.2.
Kind regards, Axel
