Public bug reported: Hi, I reported a socat regression that only appears in version 1.7.3.3: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=958452
The Debian maintainer just packaged the new version 1.7.3.4 which solves the issue. Is it possible to get that in Focal? It could be considered a microrelease: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases Here are the regression details, in order to be able to reproduce it: Epoptes is a computer lab management tool, I'm upstream and Debian maintainer for it. It uses socat to forward a "student" terminal to the "teacher". To reproduce the issue without installing Epoptes, the following similar commands may be used instead: Teacher (just run it in a terminal tab): xterm -e socat tcp-listen:1234,reuseaddr,keepalive=1 stdio,raw,echo=0 Student (just run it in another terminal tab): TERM=xterm socat EXEC:'screen bash -l',pty,stderr tcp:localhost:1234 This works fine with all socat versions except 1.7.3.3. In 1.7.3.3, it's like line buffering is enabled or something similar, and pressing for example the up arrow in the keyboard shows "^[OA" instead of displaying the last bash command. Thus, the forwarded xterm is almost unusable. ** Affects: socat (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875129 Title: Socat 1.7.3.3 in focal has regression, please sync with sid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/socat/+bug/1875129/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
