JED anyone?

1998-06-23 Thread Milan Zamazal
`jed' is an orphaned package.  I'm considering to take its maintanence,
since I've found JED is a small and quick start editor, good for quick
editing of configuration files, etc. (I've wiped out all vis from my
disk, and ae+ed do not satisfy me fully:-).  However I'm no way an
experienced JED user, so if anyone else wants to maintain it, I've
nothing against it.

I'm in the same boat.  My main editor is JOE and I use JED only on the
rare occasion that I want context hightlighting when programming in Perl. 
I've given thought to maintaining it but not being a regular JED user I don't
think I'd be the best qualified.

I've been thinking about taking over maintenance too as the upstream version
is a fair bit ahead.  OTOH I havn't been doing much maintaining recently and
I'd like to finish doing SOCKSv5 and a few new upstream releases of other
packages first.

One thing I've noticed is that the debian diff includes the compiled
packages, these should be generated my the build process and not be in the
diff.

Well, it seems I now use it the same as you do, but it used some time
ago to be the only useful editor I had (on a 386SX-16 box), and I
hacked some slang files for its purpose.

I think I could take it over for slink, but I remember someone
recently saying there was already work in progress on this.  Don't
remember who it was - just hope he'll read this thread.

OTOH, I've also several other plans for early slink, so someone else
with less plans than me could have a try a jed...

I use jed for programming, and joe for other tasks.  Jed is very nice, but
it would be better still if someone could figure out its weird C++
autoindent problems (bug#15197).  It's a pretty cool bug, actually.

I certainly have no time to maintain the package.  I say go for it!

Have fun,

Avery
