Just need to pull patches from http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/screen/screen-16/
I'll get around to it eventually, but there isn't really much reason to use screen from MacPorts on Snow Leopard.
Actually there is. The screen that ships with Leopard, and Snow Leopard, is buggy. It simply refuses to remember the current directory. Every new window started within a screen session starts in ~, no matter what the original directory was when screen was started. Just googled it actually, and people have been coming up with some [http://code.google.com/p/silassewell/wiki/ScreenOSX nasty hacks] to work around that problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20862#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
