Re: fed (fedit) seeking a linux home
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,
G.

That's how fed (fedit) started.

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).
