sysutils/screen*: Rename screen and introduce a meta port

2024-08-29T03:35:49Z

This is in preparation for the import of screen 5.0.0. I've tried screen-devel (5.0.0 prelrelease). There were some bugs and inconsistencies with screen 4.9.1. So we move screen to screen49 to maintain a version of screen that is known to work. This implements the concept of a master screen port by renaming it to screen49 and creating a slave port called screen. The idea of this is similar in concept used with the cfengine or krb5 family of ports. Users should never need to change port origins when a new stable version of screen is committed. People can install the screen port or package as before. However if they choose to use the other screen port/package they may remove screen and install the versioned "master" port/package directly. This is in preparation for import of screen 5.0.0 into the ports collection. Unfortunately my initial testing of screen 5.0.0 using the screen-devel port uncovered an annoying (to me) bug, which I have opened an issue with our upstream. I have not found the time to test their patches enough to feel comfortalbe replacing the existing screen 4.9.1 with 5.0.0. When 5.0.0 will be imported as sysutils/screen50, it will not become the default master port until we believe it won't become a source of many bugzilla bugs.

sysutils/screen*: Fix off-by-one buffer overflow

2024-08-19T16:05:38Z

FreeBSD ncurses, as of c8b9c85ee5bb, does a strncpy() of 1024 bytes into a 1023 byte buffer supplied by screen. This section of code in ncurses was removed in 61f66a1f4403, and is not a problem since 14.0-RELEASE. But it is still a problem in 13-STABLE. Thank you to dim@ for detailed analysis and initial patch to sysutils/screen. The same patch is also applied to sysutils/screen-devel this commit. PR: 280868 MFH: 2024Q3

sysutils/screen: Bump PORTREVISION to chase src 21817992b331

2024-06-20T17:08:00Z

21817992b331 in FreeBSD/main installed ncurses 6.5 into 15-CURRENT. This causes screen to display errors about duplicate entries in termcap/terminfo. A rebuild of screen fixes the problem. The errors are: Name collision 'cdc456tst' between cdc456tst and cdc456tst Cannot remove alias 'cdc456tst' Name collision 'tab132w' between tab132w and tab132w Cannot remove alias 'tab132w' And many more errors like the above.
