Sure would. Do you want me to prepare a patch for joe?
If so, should I version it as NMU or regularily?
You can prepare a patch, sure, but while you're at it, do first

Yup, tested that. Took me quite a few turns, too.
The joe patch is attached, if you want me to upload this,
just tell me so. The

Maybe simply coding it differently inside joe will be the best solution -
if it notices that $self is 'editor', then don't just look for

No that’s actually the fun thing, just symlink it.
I have a symlink already:

The only question would be whether having a symlink called /etc/editorrc
would confuse non-joe users.
Hm. Too bad we can't directly link to /etc/alternatives/editorrc...
if you have any better place for it (/var/**/editorrc?), tell so ;-)

I think that all of this silliness could be avoided, while perfectly
reproducing current behavior, if jstar, joe, etc were wrappers, not
symlinks:
#!/bin/bash
if [ x$(basename -- $0) = xeditor ]; then
progname=jstar
else
progname=$0
fi
exec -a $progname /usr/lib/joe/joe.real

Sorry, insufficient quoting, the above should be of course:

It avoids the problem of editor and editorrc being out of sync.
Slowdown is imperceptible (which is the only thing that matters, since
joe is always used interactively). There

And this solution would indeed probably be the best, if it is possible.

Hi,
I just ran into a funny problem regarding update-alternatives
and editorrc: if joe is installed, it wants /etc/joe/editorrc
whereas jupp reads /etc/jupp/editorrc (I’ll use joe’s for now
and symlink to it but that will break when joe was installed,
jupp is selected and joe is then removed…

What's with all the UTF-8 quotes? You're making your mails really hard to
read and for no apparent reason...
Oh okay. UTF-8 works here.
The problem with 'editorrc' is that it's really a joe-specific config file,
so it doesn't make sense to move it out of /etc/joe.
Well,
