Bug#688077: O: elvis -- a vi-like editor lighter than vim



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

As reported earlier (#432298), this package needs work to bring to the
modern era!

At one stage a 1.88M editor (rough size of plain old vim these days)
would have been considered 'heavy', but not anymore. Is there a niche
for editors that weight-in at < 400K and have many of the same features?

Since this is the first package (back in the Minix days in 1991/92) to
which I sent a bug report and patch, I do this with heavy heart but ...
I have been using vim for the last six months, so someone with greater
need must take over and make sure that 'elvis still lives'! (Note that
elvis only lives inside Debian as of now.)

Regards,

Kapil.
