If you want to trigger a new Copr build, add a comment containing new
Spec and SRPM URLs or [fedora-review-service-build] string.

It is orphaned and retired for "Failed to build from source"
Actually it is because unable to fetch source from http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/nvi

that's wrong - it's because it fails to build becasue of rotten code
koji don't download sources

--------------------------

using Debian or Slackware as source is nonsense - both are downstreams

https://repo.or.cz/nvi.git shows the last two cosmetical commits 3 years ago and the last serious commits 7 years ago

what's the point of riding this dead horse again?
i mean aren't there enough maintained vi incarnations?

Upstream appears to be here (now?):
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi

Keith Bostic's domain directs you to this location.

(sorry for my late reply, busy at high school recently)

> using Debian or Slackware as source is nonsense - both are downstreams
so I should use https://repo.or.cz/nvi.git/commit/ca4dfd779807f7bd26a7e0297eba11b0436ae6bc as upstream?

I just want it to be alive again, other distros have this package, so I want fedora have it too.

Spec URL: http://hws.shenjack.top:81/files/nvi/nvi.spec
SRPM URL: http://hws.shenjack.top:81/files/nvi/nvi-1.81.6-24.fc39.src.rpm

replace upstream
(the original spec file was just overwritten)
