I have contacted the author. He says that the next version (0.3) will
probably come out later this week, so I might wait till then before
investigating the segfaults.

(At present, boot-floppies is using nano-tiny. It used to use ae.)

Good, ae sucks, nano is much better IMO.

sponsor for QEmacs maybe

2001-04-27 Thread Edmund GRIMLEY EVANS

QEmacs is a tiny full-screen editor with UTF-8 support, a hex mode and
the ability to edit huge files efficiently:

http://www-stud.enst.fr/~bellard/qemacs/

It's not very mature yet, but it seems good enough to be useful. There
didn't seem to be a Debian package, and I felt it was about time I
learnt something about how to make Debian packages, so I made one:

http://rano.org/qemacs/

Does anyone want to review this and either take it over as maintainer
for the benefit of Debian or tell me what I've done wrong for my
benefit?

Edmund

 Can you explain this reasoning a little more? The software should not be
 distributed, plus it segfaults, why do you recommend that for the
 distribution? And maybe even for the boot-floppies?

I'm sorry, I'm sleepy and  should go to bed. I meant s/is/is not/.
Please, excuse me. ;-)
