Hi hackers, I'm doing my GSoC project, "Multibyte Encoding Support in Nvi" at https://github.com/lichray/nvi2 . Currently, the editor can support read/display/write multibyte encoding through iconv. Before adding more features like file encoding detection, I want to remove some features in nvi.
First, gtags mode. This feature was imported by http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/global-commit/2005-01/msg00002.html . There's no gtags in our base system, and I can't find it in ports. This feature is useless (nvi-1.8x does not have it) and unexpected in the code (GTAGS macro everywhere). In a word, I want to remove it. Second, the perl/tcl interpreter support; you can apply a perl/tcl command to the file whiling you are editing. I beg no one here used this feature before. If the logic is simple, you can use subst; if it's not, you'd better write a script and run perl/tcl outside. I regard it as feature creep, and I don't like it. Any comments? -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
