Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor for "vis":

 * Package name    : vis
   Version         : 0.3
   Upstream Author : Marc André Tanner <mat@brain-dump.org>
 * URL             : https://github.com/martanne/vis
 * License         : ISC
   Section         : editors

It's my main editor, so I'm willing to keep the package well maintained and up
to date. To access further information about this package please visit:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/vis

Thank you,

Paride Legovini

I'd still prefer a nicer message, or no error at all -- but that's not a
blocker for the initial version.  Let's get a working version in, there'll
be plenty of time to improve it later.

I'm not a vi user, but from the gist of things I see that vis tries to be a
good _editor_ but not necessarily a good _vi_.  That sounds like you'd want
a pretty low priority for "vi" but a decent one for "editor".  But I haven't
researched the priorities either, someone else might have better feedback
here.


Uploaded; I've done most testing on armhf as I suppose you did amd64
yourself; armhf is also the architecture I used for the binary upload so it
will have no build log.
