No i dont mean symlinking vi to vim. Thats not an option. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13239#comment39968 & downwards. I mean building both in the same PKGBUILD. See the CRUX Pkgfile i posted previously I think it does exactly that. -- Greg
Since having vi is required by the POSIX standards, wouldn't a bundled vi+vim make perl required? Or is it an actual optdepend for vim? (I'm not at my home box at the moment to check)
What do the POSIX standards say, having a vi named package, or binary? I think its the second. Vim in testing has no X capabilities and only the perl interpeted enabled. Still perl is only an optional dependency. What if perl was an actual dependency. Its already in base. I dare not to imagine a system not having perl installed. Anyway i dont know if my suggestion actually works as i imagine. -- Greg
