Hi,
I tried to change my default editor to yi, but right now one needs to manually
add it for update-alternatives.
Since yi is a full fledged (programmable) text editor, it would be nice to
simply
$ update-alternatives --config editor
and select yi from the list or have it selected automatically if no other
editor is installed.
Also yi is listed under Section "misc" instead of "editors", which is
counterintuitive to me but no big annoyance.
I took the freedom to attach yi.postinst and yi.prerm files compatible to the
current yi packaging, which are almost identical to those in the zile package.
They are tested to be idempotent and quiet.
A patch to debian/control to move yi from "misc" to "editors" is also attached
and would make yi more discoverable to people looking for a new editor, raising
the usefulness of yi in Debian.
Thank you and have a good time,
Marcel
