Dear Michael, and other mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "fizsh".
* Package name : fizsh Version : 1.0.5-1 Upstream Author : Guido van Steen (myself) * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/fizsh/ * License : Modified BSD License Section : shells To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: http://mentors.debian.net/package/fizsh You can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fizsh/fizsh_1.0.5-1.dsc The package seems lintian clean. I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards, Guido van Steen NOTE: This RFS with respect to fizsh version 1.0.5 replaces my previous RFS with respect fizsh version 1.0.4. For more information see the thread "RFS: fizsh (already in Debian, new upstream version 1.0.4)" P.S. For those less familiar with FIZSH: FIZSH is intended to be an easy front-end to ZSH, so that it can serve as a first shell for starting developers and UNIX lovers. Many of them are drawn to BASH, because it is the default shell on many systems. Some may try ZSH, but they may give up after they see the message "You are seeing this message because you have no zsh startup files". FIZSH is meant to give such people an easier start. It provides a similar interface as FISH, which aims to be an easy shell as well (http://fishshell.com). Like FISH, FIZSH provides syntax-highlighting and an intuitively appealing history-search widget. These widgets are maintained at https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting and https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search, respectively. (I am a major contributor to the FIZSH's history-search widget.) Unlike FISH, FIZSH accepts Bourne compatible syntax. It inherits this feature from ZSH. This enables users of FIZSH to use many snippets from the internet. This feature of snippets in Bourne compatible syntax is not available to people who use FISH. My intention for writing FIZSH, is definitely not to provide an competitor to ZSH. The goal of FIZSH is to make life easier for people who have not yet managed to tweak their ZSH configuration. These people may later migrate to ZSH, and add FIZSH's and possibly other useful ZSH features to their startup scripts. Also, note that the FIZSH package does not at all interfere with files installed by ZSH. FIZSH deploys its own configuration files. So it will never mess up someone's existing ZSH configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
