Disregard my previous email, I figured it out.

Here is my favorite text editor. This is my first package, so I'm sorry 
if I messed up somewhere.
The formatting is probably bad, but every package seemed to be formatted 
slightly differently, so I don't know.

OK, perfect.  :-)

Formatting looks good.  I’m just reporting a few minor issues below.

Could you send an updated patch in the format produced by ‘git
format-patch’, and with a ChangeLog-style commit log?  See “Submitting
Patches” in the ‘HACKING’ file for details.

Shouldn’t it be
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/files/... ?  (This is
the URL given on the home page.)

Just:

  `(#:out-of-source? #t)

> +    (license bsd-3)))

This is actually bsd-4 (see its ‘LICENSE’ file: it has the four clauses,
as shown at <http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:BSD_4Clause>.)

Please add a sentence or two at the beginning of the file saying what it
does and why.  (You can remove the comment above ‘search-patch’ in
nvi.scm.)

Thanks!

Actually, no. The actual home page, according to Debain, is 
http://www.kotnet.org/~skimo/nvi/ ; However, that site is dead. I've 
looked at what other distributions report and they say 
https://sites.google.com/a/bostic.com/keithbostic/vi is currently the 
home of nvi. Unfortunately, they don't provide the latest version of the 
editor (there's even a bug in the build system of that version), so I 
had to look somewhere else to get the newest one, which I found at 
Slackbuilds and some other places, like the Debian source repository.

I think I'll remove the website from the definition, as it'll cause 
confusion (It confused even me).

Maybe we should have all vi-like editors in one file. We currently have
vim in gnu/packages/vim.scm, maybe we should have both nvi and vim in
gnu/packages/vi.scm, WDYT ?

I think at least Vim is, on the meanwhile, a very different beast from
any random vi implementation.  (Don't know about nvi or others.)

Do we have any guidelines regarding what packages go in what files, or
is it determined on an "intuitive" basis?

Yes, definitely.  We can do this either before or after adding nvi.

The latter.  :-)

That’s not ideal, but from my experience with Nixpkgs, it’s hard to find
a formal categorization scheme that would be really helpful.

In that case please leave the sites.google.com home page, with a comment
above the source URL stating that sites.google.com is stale etc.

I was looking at nvi-1.79/LICENSE and nvi-1.79/regex/COPYRIGHT, which
both contain the 4-clause text.  It’s surprising that the newer version
no longer has the fourth clause.

Which version do Trisquel or Debian ship?  What does their ‘copyright’
file says?

For the subject line, use “gnu: Add nvi.”

In both cases, “New file.” is enough (try ‘git log’ to see examples.)

The files also need to be added to gnu-system.am.

Could you send the patch (with the added comments) as an attachment,
because the mail client apparently mangled it?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Debian Stable ships with 1.81.6, with some additional patches (which I 
might eventually add in, we'llsee). The license there is BSD-3 as well, 
I'll enclose the copyright file as an attachment.

Ah, there it is. I was actually searching for this file, thinking it 
would be Makefile.am in some subdirectory, but I couldn't find it.

Okay, It's as an attachment. Here's the changelog entries:

2014-09-02 Marek Benc <merkur32@gmail.com>
* gnu/packages/nvi.scm: New file.
* gnu/packages/patches/nvi-assume-preserve-path.patch: New file.

Actually, if you make the 3 lines above part of the commit log, ‘git
format-patch’ will preserve them, and so the patch will be directly
applicable with ‘git am’–which is better.  :-)

Anyway I’ve now pushed the patch, thanks!

This seems to be the explanation: at some point UC Berkeley changed the
license to BSD-3, which it can do as the sole copyright holder.

Thanks,
