[DNG] Question about the text editor named medit.

[Edward Bartolo via Dng]

Dear All,

Going to packages/debian.org I found other packages similar to medit
like bluefish and jedit. I tried jedit first, but its font rendering
is aggressive on my aging eyes and resorted to using bluefish which
has its font rendering more comparable to medit's.

That is the beauty of open source: it ultrapampers its users by a wide
choice! Not only, there is no software lock-in, but it offers several
other choices with more advanced features.

Thanks to all developers who employ their precious time to offer this to all.

The last packaging was in oldstable:

Looking at the control file, medit disappeared from chimaera repositories 
because of the deprecation of python-gtk2.
That is for the same reason that wicd did. So, there is a chance that packaging 
will return in testing or backports,
as happened in the case of wicd.

Edward: geany might be a good choice for you in the meantime.

Cheers,

Aitor.

I believe you are correct.

[DNG] Question about the text editor named medit.

[Edward Bartolo via Dng]

Dear All,

Upgrading to chimeara removed medit, a text editor I used for writing
code and any other plain text document. I could not install it and it
seems it has been removed from the repository. Searching online for a
recently updated source tarball, I did not find any. It seems it has
been abandoned by its developer/s.

Thanks for your replies.
