Package: wyrd
Version: 1.4.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The current default wyrdrc uses $EDITOR as its main source for
information about the desired editor. Many people set editor to a
line-oriented editor like 'ed' and $VISUAL to their prefered fullscreen
editor.

The included patch uses $VISUAL (if set and non-empty) and uses $EDITOR
as a fallback solution.
