Package: mercurial Version: 0.9.4-1 Severity: normal When a tool needs an editor, it is conventional to first examine $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, then fall back on vi -- for example, bzr and darcs behave this way. In sh notation, this is expressed as
"${VISUAL:-${EDITOR:-vi}}" Mercurial appears to skip the first step, i.e. "${EDITOR:-vi}" This is mildly irritating. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mercurial depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.4 automated rebuilding support for p ii python2.5 2.5.1-5 An interactive high-level object-o Versions of packages mercurial recommends: ii rcs 5.7-20 The GNU Revision Control System ii tk8.4 [wish] 8.4.16-1 Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11, v8.4 - -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
