Current maintainer of nvi(2) :

https://github.com/lichray/nvi2

Need its companion (DB1) from the BSD world :

https://github.com/matijaskala/db1

Arch repo dependencies :

cmake
libiconv
libbsd

My way of building nvi :

1.  git clone https://github.com/lichray/nvi2
2.  cd nvi2
3.  git clone https://github.com/matijaskala/db1
4.  cmake -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-Ldb1 -DDB_INCLUDE_DIR=db1/include .
5.  make -C db1
6.  make

Then you can copy/move the executable anywhere in your path and invoke 'nvi'. Enjoy

Segfaults when I run nex.

PKGBUILD should provide nvi since there is nvi-multibyte-upstream.
