Description Anna Vyalkova 2023-05-06 15:15:15 UTC

It fallbacks to app-editors/nano, which might be not installed.

Comment 1 William Pettersson 2024-07-05 17:18:51 UTC

This could be particularly useful for people who use `sudo dispatch-conf` to update their config. Since sudo (by default) doesn't pass environment variables through, any reference to EDITOR will also be lost.
