Bug 7501 – app-editors/nvi ebuild broken

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description ajs 2002-09-05 04:14:18 UTC]

The URLs used by the app-editors/nvi ebuild appear to be incorrect. The HOMEPAGE
and SRC_URI destinations no longer exist; in fact it would appear that nothing
below http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/ exists any more.

According to Freshmeat, there is a homepage for nvi at:
        http://www.bostic.com/vi/
It would to be a little out-dated though since it only mentions an older version
of nvi. Source appears to be available at:
        ftp://ftp.linux.student.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/people/skimo/nvi/

Hence a possible resolution may be the following changes:
SRC_URI="ftp://ftp.linux.student.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/people/skimo/nvi/${P}.tar.gz"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.bostic.com/vi/"

portage after the ebuild freeze.
