Re: Fwd: Adding a .deb for Edit/msedit.
Hey there,
Of course no problem if you want to package this editor. A few things
you should consider:
1. Do not introduce a package called "edit". The name is too general. If
the binary is going to be called msedit, call the package msedit. Also,
in case you were considering it,
2. 'Assigning an "edit" alias is recommended, if possible.' (from edit's
README). No, it is not possible. The name, again, is too general.
3. Since the name "edit" is already taken on crates.io and since there
seems to be no "msedit", I assume the editor is not published on
crates.io. If this is the case, this means you cannot follow the Rust
Team's standard workflow. See [1] instead.
4. If you need help feel free to drop by #debian-rust on IRC.
Cheers!
