Dear Maintainer,
since Bullseye, probably caused by upstream commit
d805688afc0c709154c9c6f29383b175c05ffc92 ("script: report also timing
file, do it only once"), "script" no longer outputs the file name at
the end.
I'm using "script" to record the output of programs that create a
large amount of output so that I a) have a copy for future reference
(i.e. a log file) and b) can read the output using a pager like
less. Because I keep the output as a log file, I use assign unique
file names based on the current time ("date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"). Because
the output of the programs often is longer than the terminal
scrollback buffer, I cannot scroll up to see the file name at the
start of the "script" output. With "script" no longer printing the
file name at the end this means I need to look up the file name using
"ls -tr|tail" before I can read the file with a pager to review the
current run. This is rather tedious during everyday usage.
Sascha
