I have some interest in this package as a prospective ncurses co-maintainer, because ne is *very* picky about wrong terminfo entries, and that helped me to discover that the xterm-256color terminfo had a wrong backspace description. However, I certainly won't use ne as an editor for any serious work, since I'm forever addicted to the One True Editor¹, and with that state of affairs I cannot really maintain ne.
Today I've hacked around the package a bit, fixing the lintian warnings and upgrading it to version 2.0.3 which has (limited) syntax highlighting. What remains is to split the package (most of the stuff lives in /usr/share, meaning that an arch-independent binary package is in order), and to update debian/copyright. If anyone is interested in that work, please mail me. ¹ http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
