Actually, no. The actual home page, according to Debain, is
http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/nvi/ ; However, that site is dead. I've
looked at what other distributions report and they say
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi is currently the
home of nvi. Unfortunately, they don't provide the latest version of
the editor (there's even a bug in the build system of that version),
so I had to look somewhere else to get the newest one, which I found
at Slackbuilds and some other places, like the Debian source
repository.
In that case please leave the sites.google.com home page, with a comment
above the source URL stating that sites.google.com is stale etc.
I think I'll remove the website from the definition, as it'll cause
confusion (It confused even me).
+ (license bsd-3)))
This is actually bsd-4 (see its ‘LICENSE’ file: it has the four clauses,
as shown at <http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:BSD_4Clause>.)
Really? I see there only 3 clauses, here's a listing of the LICENSE file:
I was looking at nvi-1.79/LICENSE and nvi-1.79/regex/COPYRIGHT, which
both contain the 4-clause text. It’s surprising that the newer version
no longer has the fourth clause.
Which version do Trisquel or Debian ship? What does their ‘copyright’
file says?
Okay, now that that's out of the way, here's the updated patch:
2014-09-02 Marek Benc <address@hidden>
For the subject line, use “gnu: Add nvi.”
* gnu/packages/nvi.scm: Add the nvi editor.
* gnu/packages/patches/nvi-assume-preserve-path.patch: Assume nvi can
store backups in /var/tmp.
In both cases, “New file.” is enough (try ‘git log’ to see examples.)
The files also need to be added to gnu-system.am.
