Description

As experienced by those attending WWDC, the standard 'vi' on Panther is now vim. Not everyone loves vim (many non-standard extensions) and nvi, what we used before, is quite standard (plus it has some nice extensions of its own). It would be nice to have a port that you could install and get 'nvi' installed by name (/opt/local/bin/nvi or whatever).

The port already exists, but the index has not been updated since Feb, so we need to synchronize the index with the ports we have.

comment:2 Changed 21 years ago by sspies@…

Might I suggest that the index be updated automatically if at all possible, e.g. via cron? Obviously, the sooner I can find the port w/o using CVS, the better (a manual update is in order), but long- term, the updates should be automated, right?

Ole, do you want to be the maintainer of it? I don't think Jordan would mind, as he is a busy man.

Resolution: fixed

changed the port file to add the program prefix n, so that it gets install as nvi.
