Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2004-05-06 10:53 0000

The newest version of app-editors/joe (3.0) has moved the configuration files
(joerc, jpicorc, etc.) from /etc to /etc/joe .  The old files are not merged
with the new ones during etc-update, however.  They are simply ignored in favor
of the new (default) files in /etc/joe .  Furthermore, the documentation within
the new config files themselves still say things like:

 JOE looks for this file in:
        1 - $HOME/.jpicorc
        2 - /etc/jpicorc

The man file for "joe" also refers to the obsolete /etc location for config
files.

At a minimun, all references to /etc/<configfile> in the man pages and
configuration files should be changed to /etc/joe/<configfile>.  It would also
be nice if the old config files from /etc were merged with the new ones in
/etc/joe during the emerge process.

Thanks.

Added some sed magic for:
joe.1.in jmacsrc.in jpicorc.in jstarrc.in rjoerc.in
(joerc.in itself is already ok)

Theres also an einfo about the new location.

Further hacks wont be done because that's up to the upstream
developer. I've filed a bugrepot about this issue.
