Its project page presents it as a JOE-derived editor with bug fixes, security fixes, UTF-8 work, programmer conveniences, and the familiar JOE editor flavors. ### Project history The jupp page describes the Unix/GNU-compatible line as based on JOE 3.1 and the MS-DOS-compatible line as based on JOE 2.8. It frames the project as a portable version of JOE's Own Editor, developed with GNU autotools and licensed under GPL version 1 terms as used by that code base. Rather than tracking modern JOE directly, jupp intentionally stayed on older JOE bases that the maintainer considered better behaved overall, then layered in fixes and features for professional users. ### Adoption history jupp is niche, but its presence in Homebrew, Debian and Ubuntu as `joe-jupp`, Fedora, and Nix shows that distributions kept it available for users who wanted the JOE editing model with the MirBSD-maintained patch set. Its audience is mostly terminal-editor users who prefer WordStar-style or JOE-style keybindings and want a compact editor with syntax highlighting, rescue-system friendliness, and programmer features. ### How it is used Users run `jupp` as a terminal editor. The project page notes that related JOE flavors such as `jmacs`, `joe`, `jpico`, `jstar`, and `rjoe` are included, though not every jupp-specific feature applies to every flavor. The page documents source downloads, checksums, CVS checkout, GNU autotools build commands, manpages, and editor tricks such as visible spaces, hex editing, syntax highlighting toggles, bracketed paste, and conflict-marker search. ### Why package nerds care jupp is package-nerd interesting because it is a fork maintained as a patchy, portable editor distribution rather than a clean modern upstream repository. Packagers preserve it for users who care about exact terminal-editor behavior, small rescue-friendly builds, and old-school keybinding compatibility. It also shows a common packaging pattern for small Unix tools: the authoritative source is a project web page with tarballs, CVS instructions, manpages, and checksums rather than a GitHub repository. ### Timeline - JOE 2.8 base: jupp maintained an MS-DOS-compatible line as joe-2.8jupp3. - JOE 3.1 base: jupp maintained a Unix/GNU-compatible line as joe-3.1jupp41. - Distribution era: jupp entered package managers including Homebrew, Debian and Ubuntu as `joe-jupp`, Fedora, and Nix. ### Related projects - jupp is directly related to JOE's Own Editor and keeps JOE-family frontends such as `joe`, `jmacs`, `jpico`, `jstar`, and `rjoe`. - It is also part of the MirBSD/MirPorts tool ecosystem alongside other MirBSD subprojects. ### Sources -
