hallo, I wrote to cygwin list to comment out that I had just ported joe editor 3.0 version to cygwin, and I thought it would be a good idea to include it in the distro, as its many people's editor of choice.
Gerrit Haase pointed me to the package contributor's guide, and there I've read its convenient to announce this kind of thing in this list, so there it goes: I have no problems in maintaining joe's package for cygwin. I've read the guide and I'm preparing the neccesary changes to the sources in order to have joe packages ready in the appropiate packaging format. Here's a draft of the setup.hint file for public comments: --- begin setup.hint -- # setup file for Cygwin's version of JOE # maintained by Ricardo Varela - phobeo at ieee dot org sdesc: "Joe's Own Editor - the world-famous Wordstar-like text editor" ldesc: "Joe's Own Editor id a Wordstar-like console-based user-friendly WYSIWYG ASCII-text editor.
