2026-05-28: nano-noutf8-9.0-1 (Free Pico clone with some new features)GNU nano is an easy-to-use text editor originally designed as a replacement for Pico, the ncurses-based editor from the non-free mailer package Pine (itself now available under the Apache License as Alpine). commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): nano: new version2026-05-28: less-702-1 (Featureful text pager)
less is a featureful replacement for the more command. It reads text from a file or a pipe and displays it inside the terminal. It allows you to scroll forwards and backwards, search the text and do other nifty things with it. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): less: new version2026-05-28: lesspipe-2.25-2 (Preprocessor for less)
lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less. It allows to view files with binary content, compressed files, archives and files contained in archives. A large and growing number of formats are supported both as plain and compressed files using compress, gzip, bzip2 or zip. Interesting for Mac OS X is the possibity to view BOM (Bill of Materials) archives, either directly or by just giving the package name, i.e. less foo.pkg will display the BOM of this package. Additionally, syntax highlighting for the languages ada, asm, awk, c, c++, groff, html, xml, java, javascript, lisp, m4, make, pascal, patch, perl, povray, python, ruby, shellscript and sql is provided. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): lesspipe: unbreak syntax-highlighting2026-05-28: nano-9.0-1 (Free Pico clone with some new features)

Isl is a library for manipulating sets and relations of integer points bounded by linear constraints. Supported operations on sets include intersection, union, set difference, emptiness check, convex hull, (integer) affine hull, integer projection, and computing the lexicographic minimum using parametric integer programming. It also includes an ILP solver based on generalized basis reduction. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): isl*: packaging cleanups2026-05-27: isl2-shlibs-0.14.1-4 (Integer Set Library)

Awk is a sophisticated text processing language commonly used in shell scripts. Note that many people actually prefer mawk over gawk because of speed. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): gawk: fix Info TOC enry2026-05-24: vim-9.2.526-1 (Improved version of the editor "vi")
VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor: Unlimited undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection, graphical user interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars, text selection), and much much more. commit log from Hisashi T Fujinaka ([email protected]): Vim: Welcome to Vim-9.2.526.2026-05-24: vim-nox-9.2.526-1 (Improved version of the editor "vi")
