You'd probably want to file a bug against the wnpp package.

Of course, until it exists in woody as a package, we can't consider
it.

I've just had a look. It doesn't work too well (at least not
out of the box on a typical sid system) with iso-8859-2.

There is now, because I just made one:

http://rano.org/qemacs/

I'm not a Debian maintainer, of course, so if any maintainer wants to
review this and upload it, that might be useful. (I know there are
these things called ITPs.)

We are currently using nano-tiny
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/nano-tiny.html

we dropped ae for woody.

I don't know how nano-tiny is about UTF-8 or 8-bit charsets, but it is something
to look into.

possible editor for installer: QEmacs

2001-04-27 Thread Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS

If we are going to use UTF-8 for the installer, then we need a new
editor instead of ae. I looked at the source for ae and thought it
would be easier to write a new editor from scratch than to add
multibyte support to ae.

QEmacs may be the answer: http://www-stud.enst.fr/~bellard/qemacs/

Last time I looked, ae was 23888 bytes.

The binary for version 0.2 of QEmacs is 24060 bytes.

I've just tried it out quickly, and, yes, it does allow me to edit a
UTF-8 file in a UTF-8 xterm. I did manage to segfault it, though, so
it's not a finished work. Also, I'm not sure whether it can do 8-bit
charsets or only UTF-8.

Worth looking at, I think.

There isn't a Debian package yet.

Edmund
