I've been working on updating the configury for screen, and have gotten to a state that could reasonably be merged. (Also, I don't know that I'll have much time to look at this over the next few months.) Primary benefits:
Uses gnulib's getloadavg, so the configury for that function is up-to-date and actively maintained. Uses config.guess to determine host and arch. Again, the primary benefit being active maintenance of the checks. Everything can be specified at configure time. For example, to set USRLIMIT, the user can either do it the old way and edit config.h after running configure, or run configure with the argument "usrlimit=20". I pick usrlimit as an example because both my fork and the current master do not compile with usrlimit set, so that leads to... I've succesfully built with default settings on OSX/i386, freeBSD 6.3/i386 and netBSD/sparc64. These are all BSD leaning, so I would appreciate feedback from anyone on the build on other platforms. The git repository is at: g...@github.com:wrp/wscreen.git in branch wrp. To build, one must have gnulib installed with gnulib-tool in the PATH, and autoconf 2.63.251. Or, grab the tarball from http://www.wpursell.net/screen and the autoconf and gnulib dependencies are removed. This fork provides no new functionality, but is a good step towards bringing screen up to date. Micah, Juergen, et al., please let me know if there is anything objectionable that causes you to refrain from merging. -- William Pursell _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
