Although it gives that message, the man page actually recommends 'vim', and check out the ~/.bournalrc config file -- there is a setting for EDITOR which defaults to "nanoeditor". Change that to some other editor, and the program will run just file. I expect that this is why the hard dependency was dropped, and I think it's probably fair to assume that anyone who is hardcore enough to be using a command-line encrypted journal program can probably deal with that, although it'd be nice if the error message told you about the config file -- or if the program just respected the traditional EDITOR (or VISUAL) environment variable. Overall, posting to this mailing list is okay, but as Michael Schwendt points out, it's really better to file a bug, because not all maintainers can keep up with this list and it's easy to miss things. It's pretty easy to do at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=bournal Also, be aware that the program appears to be dead upstream -- the home page at http://www.becauseinter.net/bournal/ just gives a 404 error. -- Matthew Miller -- Fedora Project -- <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> "Tepid change for the somewhat better!" -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
