sysutils/screen*: MULTIUSER is now non-default

2026-08-14T17:02:01Z

MULTIUSER requires a setuid root screen binary. Not many people use this feature anymore so let's disable it by default. If people do want MULTIUSER screen they should either set the option or manually add the setuid bit to the screen binary. Reported by: sjg

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
