[screen-devel] Can we release 4.5.2?

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

I just looked through the commits on
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/log/?h=screen-v4 since
the 4.5.1 release and wondered, if there speaks anything against
releasing them as 4.5.2.

Why? Because I'd cherry-pick for Debian 7 of the 10 screen-v4 commits
made since 4.5.1:

11 days       Add more serial speeds                                    
Amadeusz Sławiński      1       -26/+37
`-> This would fix a bug reported against Debian's screen package.

2017-05-30    screen: don't stat("")                                    
Christian Brauner       1       -1/+2
2017-04-18    add compat layer to handle both fifos and sockets         
Christian Brauner       8       -352/+365
2017-04-06    screen: handle pts devices in different namespaces        
Christian Brauner       6       -73/+163
2017-03-24    handle pty device from different namespace                
Christian Brauner       1       -2/+10
`-> These commits are already cherry-picked in Ubuntu's screen package
    and I'd also add them to Debian's screen package to reduce the
    difference to Ubuntu's package.

2017-03-22    fix mixing external & internal TERM                       Samuel 
Thibault         1       -0/+2
2017-02-28    [PATCH] fix texinfo syntax errors                         Andreas 
Stieger         1       -2/+2
`-> These commits are already cherry-picked in Debian's and in
    Ubuntu's screen package.

Leaves only these three commits which I have no direct reason to
cherry-pick them (which does not mean that I don't want them to be
included, in contrary):

2017-04-18    fix typos                                                 
Amadeusz Sławiński      2       -3/+3
2017-04-06    fix restoring cursor position after leaving altscreen     
Amadeusz Sławiński      2       -1/+9
2017-03-01    Cleanup patch for man page                                Eric S. 
Raymond         1       -1165/+1262

So I propose to release the current state of the screen-v4 branch more
or less as it is as GNU Screen 4.5.2.

                Kind regards, Axel
