Package: zile Version: 2.2.18-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Please could you provide /usr/bin/emacs via /etc/alternatives ? I think the attached patch should do it (untested).
This is (sort of, if we ignore history) analogous to nvi providing vi. Perhaps that way an emacs-like editor could be added to the base system (we already have nano/pico and vi). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Versions of packages zile depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand zile recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
