Package: nvi Version: 1.81.6-11+b1 Severity: minor Hi Henrique or who else is interested in adopting nvi,
the Homepage header of nvi currently points to a no more exiting web page (http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/nvi/). The "older" homepage of nvi is http://www.bostic.com/vi/ and nowadays redirects to https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi/, but is horribly out of date (offers version 1.79 for download). But it seems as if there's a at least some development (or maintenance) going on at http://repo.or.cz/w/nvi.git so I recommend to use that as upstream homepage for now. I also suspect it may improve the package if a current snapshot of that git repo would be used as base for the nvi package. One obvious disadvantage of that snapshot is that it contains more embedded code copies than before, see e.g. this commit: http://repo.or.cz/w/nvi.git/commitdiff/e72e57ed514934ea574737e7571f1bd4ed539d42 But since the .orig.tar.gz needs to be build from a git snapshot anyway, repackaging it to exclude embedded code copies shouldn't be an issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (400, 'stable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nvi depends on: ii libc6 2.18-7 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-3 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140118-1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 Versions of packages nvi recommends: ii nvi-doc 1.81.6-11 nvi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
