Package Information

Description:
GNU Readline is cool, but BSD Readline is cooler :) Thus here is libedit by the NetBSD folks! The glibc/bsdlibc stuff comes from the debian tarball, thanks to them too :) The patch is handcrafted with a few ideas from libedit.sf.net and a few ideas from the debian package. This patch aims to be as small as possible (so as to make future cvs snapshots cake).
