Description: EDIT is a text file editor for use with the Linux console/xterm. The idea was to provide a text editor that is user friendly and easy to use (especially for those who are experienced with the GUI interface). Having accustomed to SHIFT selecting text, using CTRL-shortcut keys and so on makes it hard for a regular joe to learn how to use other text based editor that need special syntaxes and hard (sometimes akward) commands that need memorizing. This is where edit comes to play. You don't need to learn any thing! Use it under Linux console or even the X system and editing configuration (and other text) files is just a breeze.

Some remarks:

- This package's name is causing me headaches. 
Do you think it's wise to call an arbitrary, so far mostly nonimportant editor "edit"? At least I don't and would recommend upstream to rename their package.

- Packaging-wise, there is one major issue with your *.spec:
Installation of the *.info file. Please check the Texinfo section in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets.

Comment 2 Mohammed Isam 2014-03-19 15:37:04 UTC
After renaming the package, will it need a new bugzilla bug report or this same bug number can be used (after editing of course)?
Checked and corrected the info part..
