Hi folks,
We can try to remove screen from forky, but somebody would need to
figure out what would be required.
Please don't :) If this package is considered orphaned, I'm happy to
adopt.
For the screen-exchange part of this bug, upstream already suggested a
solution: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?25296
If you set the screen exchange files to something different than the
"public" file, you should make sure that it's not a public writeable
directory. The same is true for all files screen writes, like screen
dumps.
$(HOME)/screen-exchange would be a good idea.
IMHO the debian folks should just put
bufferfile $HOME/screen-exchange
in their /etc/screenrc file and not mess with the source.
I would propose a slight variation of this - add:
bufferfile $HOME/.screen-exchange
to our default /etc/screenrc
Plus a NEWS entry documenting the user behaviour change needed.
Cheers,
Peter Dey
