Ticket #28412 (closed enhancement: fixed)

screen @4.0.3 add a variant for 256 color support

Port: screen

Description

My life after installing the screen port is so drab! Because the screen port doesn’t enable 256 color support. The attached patch adds a variant for 256 colors.

Terminal.app users won’t see an appreciable difference because Terminal.app only supports 16 colors. But xterm, iTerm, etc. users will now get 256 colors in screen sessions.

Is there a reason to not just make this port always support 256 colors? In other words, just skip the variant and add it always.

Is there a reason I still have to manually apply this patch every time I want to add screen via macports? Someone please integrate this!

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

This was added to the portfile at some time in the past. No variant needed, it always builds this way now.

In fact it has used this configure arg for the last 8 years, when #454 was closed, if svn blame can be believed.
