Description:
xwpe (the X Windows Programming Environment) is a programming and text editor
in the style of the Borland Turbo C IDE of the early 1990s. A single binary
runs in four modes chosen by the program name: wpe and we in the console
(ncurses), xwpe and xwe under X11 with anti-aliased Xft/Cairo rendering, UTF-8
and color emoji. It pairs a syntax-highlighting editor with a Borland-style
menu and dialog system, project management, compiler integration for many
languages (C/C++, Fortran, Pascal, Java, Python, Perl, COBOL, LaTeX) and
source-level debugging through gdb, jdb and pdb.
Originally written by Fred Kruse (1993), maintained by Dennis Payne
(2000-2006), and revived upstream in 2026. Also packaged in Debian
(team-maintained; in unstable as of 1.6.3-1).
Fedora Account (FAS): mendezr
This is my first Fedora package and I am seeking a sponsor.
Builds clean in mock for rawhide/f44/f43 (COPR). fedora-review: no blockers.
I also installed the built RPM in a Fedora 44 environment and ran the upstream
test suites against the installed binaries: 134 console (pyte) tests and 58
headless-X11 GUI tests, all passing.
Licensing: the program is GPL-2.0-only -- COPYING ships the GPLv2 text and the
source headers reference it with no "or later" clause. licensecheck also
reports GPLv3+/GPLv2+, but only on build tooling not shipped in the binary
(build-aux/missing, the Texinfo macros build-aux/texinfo.tex and
docs/texinfo.tex).
Reproducible: Always
