Re: fed (fedit) seeking a linux home

Ok, nearly there... thanks for the help, still struggling on one thing, here is the term log but basically the deb sig doesn't match the other two and i'm not sure why. i even tried replacing it:

[10:18:21 main]$ debsigs -sign=origin -default-key="Herb Gilliland (fed author) <herb.gilliland@gmail.com>" fed_0.94a-1_i386.deb

Hi,
>Having trouble doing the signing. I was able to sign the .deb but not the .changes, any hints? I couldn't rectify the situation online yet

debsign filename_version.changes

maybe you have to export your key on ~/.devscripts.

e.g. for my key

DEBSIGN_KEYID='92978A6E195E4921825F7FF0F34F09744E9F5DD9'

cheers,

Looking back at all of the features I packed into it, I know it deserves a home among the other terminal editors like emacs, vi, nano et al. It's really _different_ than those editors, and should be able to stand on its own. The problem is, not many people know about it or have it as a part of their linux experience.

It can be extended through short scripts using a plugin interface, in virtually any scripting language, but especially PHP, python, perl, shell scripts (so anything really).
