Package: darcs Version: 1.0.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #305883 I have set $EDITOR, $DARCS_EDITOR, and $VISUAL to /usr/bin/vi, which on my machine is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/vi, which is a symlink to /usr/bin/nvi, yet darcs still fails to edit a long comment. I have nano, but I don't have emacs.
A sample session. $ mkdir bugtest $ cd bugtest $ touch foo $ darcs init $ ls _darcs foo $ darcs add foo $ darcs record Darcs needs to know what name (conventionally an email address) to use as the patch author, e.g. 'Fred Bloggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'. If you provide one now it will be stored in the file '_darcs/prefs/author' and used as a default in the future. To change your preferred author address, simply delete or edit this file. What is your email address? William S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> addfile ./foo Shall I record this patch? (1/1) [ynWsfqadjk], or ? for help: y What is the patch name? test Do you want to add a long comment?
