Happy Birthday GNU Screen! //at 23:46 //by abe

from the State-of-the-Screen dept.

According to this Usenet posting, GNU Screen became 25 years old today. (Found via Fefe.)

And no, it’s not dead. In contrary, the reaction on the mailing list to bug fixes with patches is usually impressingly prompt. :-)

I took this occassion and uploaded a current git snapshot of GNU Screen to Debian Experimental.

Bug #644788 (screen 4.1.0 can’t attach to a running or detached screen 4.0.3 session) is still an issue with that snapshot, but gladly upstream seems to work on a solution for it. There’s even talk about a 4.1.0 beta release soon — although that hasn’t happened yet.

Have fun!

Hackergotchi of Axel Beckert

About...

This is the blog or weblog of Axel Stefan Beckert (aka abe or XTaran) who thought, he would never start blogging... (He also once thought, that there is no reason to switch to this new ugly Netscape thing because Mosaïc works fine. That was about 1996.) Well, times change...

He was born 1975 at Villingen-Schwenningen, made his Abitur at Schwäbisch Hall, studied Computer Science with minor Biology at University of Saarland at Saarbrücken (Germany) and now lives in Zürich (Switzerland), working at the Network Security Group (NSG) of the Central IT Services (Informatikdienste) at ETH Zurich.
