Re: [arch-general] New vi/vim/gvim in testing requires intervention

I have a system whose users' real names can't be written in ASCII, and this being the 21st century, not the 70's, I have the real name (with accents) in the GECOS field in /etc/passwd. Not being a vi{,m} user, I just have whatever the default package for vi is installed.

$ grep http /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f5 $ usermod -c éøß http $ grep http /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f5 éøß Editing the passwd file by hand seems a little odd to me. Still, if vi crashes when opening a non ASCII file, that's another story
