Package: zile Version: 2.3.4-1 Severity: normal
I use zile as a general editor for systems administration tasks as well as an email text editor with mutt. When I'm working on a config file or a shell script, I don't want auto-fill-mode on. However, when editing emails, I do. Traditionally, when I have mutt spawn zile, I call it as: zile -f auto-fill-mode +8 However, in version 2.3.4, the -f switch was removed. I can now load a separate config file using the -l option, which is fine... I can use different .zile configs for different applications. However, I work in an environment where my home directory is shared between systems. On some systems where I'm still on zile 2.2, I can't use the -l switch and on the newer systems I can't use the -f switch. There is essentially no single command line to achieve what I want to do in both cases. It would be much nicer if the upstream had either added the -l switch for a while (without removing the -f switch) until guys like me could get used to the newer option. Then later remove -f. Would it be possible to add the -f back to the new package version for a while? Why not just add a command line option to allow one to specify LISP at the command line? Something like: -exec '(auto-fill-mode t)(some-other-setting nil)...' thanks, tim -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages zile depends on: ii libc6 2.9-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090321-1 shared libraries for terminal hand zile recommends no packages. zile suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
