[oi-dev] Shipping the nano editor alongside with vi

[Hung Nguyen Gia]

Maybe... I'm impolite. But what if I'm just visit here once for this purpose then?

I only care about the result. Maybe I'm posted on the wrong mailing list. Maybe OI-discuss more fit?

The only thing I want to see and to care is: the next version of OI, nano is included alongside of vi in the text and minimal version.

It's just simple as that. Why make thing complicated?

Or this whole DIY stuffs here is just a polite way to say: we don't care about your concern and it you could send we a pull request we may 'optionally' consider it?

Then just said: 'Fuck off! We don't care!'. Straight forward so I could know to silently go away. This will not waste our time with a bunch of back and forth emails.
