Bug#418529: jed: evalfile() no longer supporting ~ in path name

[Peter Karlsson]

Package: jed
Version: 0.99.18-8.etch.4
Severity: normal

Since I have the same configuration files on several different systems, with
different $HOME, I have set up my .jedrc to use ~ to refer to a file under
my home directory:

  evalfile("~/skel/jed/joe"); pop();

This used to work with the version of Jed in Sarge, but after an upgrade to
Etch, it fails with

  Unable to load /usr/share/jed/lib/~/skel/jed/joe.slc

Changing the evalfile to take the full path works:

  evalfile("/home/peter/skel/jed/joe"); pop();

But that means having to refer to the actual home directory path on all my
installations.
