Bug#875260: yafc: Compile yafc binary against libreadline instead of libedit2
Package: yafc
Version: 1.3.7-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
the yafc binary compiled against libedit2 no longer supports colored
prompts & outputs due to a libedit issue, as you can see in Debian bugs #819439
and #782043. Building against libreadline recovers this functionality
and is encouraged by the upstream developers of yafc.
To achieve this it is only needed to add libreadline7 as a dependency
for yafc and libreadline-dev as a build-dependency, as well as a
straightforward change in debian/rules for the yafc source. Sorry, I don't
really know how to implement the changes in the dependencies, ^_^',
but I attach a patch for the debian/rules file. In my system this
procedure works just fine and recovers the colored interface.
Cheers,
Al.
