Package: nano Version: 2.2.6-1+b1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
according to the man page, nano should "read initialization files in the following order: SYSCONFDIR/nanorc, then ~/.nanorc." So the settings from ~/.nanorc should just be a supplement to settings from SYSCONFDIR/nanorc; settings from SYSCONFDIR/nanorc should be effektive, as long as there is no other order from ~/.nanorc. I just wanted to change the syntax-highlighting for awk-files, so I placed my personal syntax in ~/.nano/awk.nanorc and created ~/.nanorc including just 1 line: include ".nano/awk.nanorc" Now the syntax-highlighting for awk-files works as I wanted, but the standard syntax-highlighting for sh-files is switched off (and probably all other settings from /etc/nanorc, but I did not test this). I helped myself by copying /etc/nanorc to ~/.nanorc and made my changes there. But now I will no longer profit from possible optimisations on updates in the standard configuration.
