Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: screen-profiles
Hi,
I keep my .screenrc in sync between multiple hosts; when I first got
screen-profiles automatically via an update, it automatically changed my
.screenrc to source .screenrc-profiles; this was transparent on this
host, but causes a message on other hosts where screen-profiles wasn't
installed.
Secondly, when removing screen-profiles, .screenrc-profiles was left in
place as a dangling symlink; so now I get an error when starting
screens.
I think screen-profile integration should be reworked. One way could be
to extend the screenrc config format to check for a file's existence
before source-ing it, or adding some dynamic logic to it. Another way
would be to flip the implementation around so that the screen binary
(which is a shell script when screen-profile is installed) would default
to ~/.screenrc-profiles instead of ~/.screenrc and ~/.screenrc-profiles
would source a profile and then ~/.screenrc.
I think this should be handled before people start upgrading to jaunty
and hence get screen-profiles installed by default.
Bye,
