in order to be able to reply to questions the maintainers may address to
me.  I would love for this procedure to not be needed: it's an avoidable
overhead.

Bug#802758: ITP: zsh-syntax-highlighting -- Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh

2015-10-23 Thread Daniel Shahaf
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Shahaf 

* Package name: zsh-syntax-highlighting
  Version : 0.3.0
  Upstream Author : Multiple authors
* URL : https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: Zsh
  Description : Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh
 .
 This package provides syntax highlighing for the shell zsh.  It enables
 highlighing of commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an
 interactive terminal.  This helps in reviewing commands before running
 them, particularly in catching syntax errors.
 .
 This feature is inspired by the Fish shell, which provides it by default.
 .
 There are numerous ways to configure the colors used for highlighting,
 and to configure what is highlighted.

I am a comaintainer of upstream.

Draft packaging available at:
https://github.com/danielshahaf/zsh-syntax-highlighting-debian/

I would welcome assistance with the package, such as comaintainers or
maintaining it under the umbrella of a team.  (I have approached the
pkg-zsh-devel@ team but have not received a definite response.)
