Description yannick 2011-05-12 18:08:18 UTC

There are a lot of reasons why a scrollback buffer comes in handy. I found a patch by github user bogner, implementing scrollback functionality in dtach:
https://github.com/bogner/dtach/commit/21ede5c752f1cadcb51d6809964e04387d012133

It seems to work without any trouble (tested on amd64). Note that the command line option "-r winch" for dtach is needed for it to work. The default scrollback buffer size of 8192 bytes seems to be reasonable.

I'll attach the needed scrollback buffer patch for dtach-0.8 and a patch for the ebuild dtach-0.8.ebuild.

Hope to see it included in the tree some day :)

Reproducible: Always

Please upstream this patch. Sorry but we don't want to support extra features. Thank you.
