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.
