I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' nvi2 to 2.2.2 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/32625

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!

It's up to someone else to merge it.

This rabbit hole brought to you by: https://lpar.ath0.com/posts/2026/05/the-vi-family/ (which I think I encountered via lobste.rs ?) and has me thinking: maybe I should create a MacPorts' Portfile for OpenVi (https://github.com/johnsonjh/OpenVi) but apparently: OpenVi lacks UTF-8 support. ;( nvi2 doesn't fail in such regards, and there was already a MacPort (just with no maintainer and so many months out of date) and interestingly: it looks as if at least one OpenBSD developer (namely: Todd C. Miller) may have contributed code to nvi2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The genealogy of vi and its various off shoots is vast. I lament that I only created a MacPort for em (editor for mortals, a predecessor to vi) too late for its original author to know of its existence. ;(
