Package: nano Version: 8.4-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Package: nano Version: 8.4-1 until latest
With trixie, Debian has transitioned to deb822-style APT sources stored as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.sources, but nano's debian.nanorc still only matches sources.list and *.list files. Current regex: syntax sources.list "sources\.list(\.d/.*\.list)?(~|\.old|\.save)?$" This does not highlight deb822 files such as: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources Proposed regex: syntax sources.list "sources\.list(\.d/.*\.(list|sources))?(~|\.old|\.save)?$" This keeps backward compatibility while supporting the modern deb822 format used by Debian 12+ and default in Debian 13 (trixie). Expected result: APT source files using deb822 receive proper syntax highlighting in nano. Jan
