Hello everyone,
some time ago, I submitted a patch that fixes a breaking issue:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68139
Summary: In GNU Screen 5.0.x, deattaching an attached session (dangling
in an disconnected ssh session) fails with a "Cannot find terminfo entry
for ''" error. This happens because the server incorrectly routes detach
requests through the attach initialization path instead of the proper
detach path.
I have tested this on multiple systems, and it resolves the problem in
all cases. Could someone please take a look and let me know whether it
is suitable for inclusion in the repository, or if there is anything I
should improve? Do in need to sign anything, as in other projects?
Just to clarify: My main goal is to help others get rid of this issue,
not to force this into the repository. Adoption of the 5.x series is
still quite low (Debian, where are you??), even though it brings some
extremely important improvements - and we probably do not want tmux and
shpool to keep overtaking, right? :D
Best regards,
Tobias
