[arch-releng] Dropping vi and adding vim-minimal to the installation image
by Evangelos Foutras 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

This was discussed about two years ago but no action was taken. The proposal is simple: - Drop the vi package from the repos - Add vim-minimal to the installation image This seems like a good idea because the vi editor we ship is about 10 years old and it has never behaved correctly for me. It was brought up that some applications hardcode vi as their fallback editor, but I think it should be up to the user to configure proper EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables. During installation, none of these programs needs to launch an editor (perhaps with the exception of visudo which I can configure to search for vim). [1] I did a test ISO build replacing vi with vim-minimal and the image size increased by about 15 MiB. If there are no objections until mid-April, I suggest we implement this in the May snapshot.
