In response to: lahwaacz's filed a deletion request for vim-default-editor.

The package of subject (named vim-default-editor) is composed of a simple, basic file. The purpose of the file is to define Vim as a default editor for all users. The reason for package's being is to keep track of the setting's file existence in the root directory. I acknowledge, that it may be uncommon for just a single file to be a package; however, it's value I consider high. For those that prefer the Vim editor (and for a number of utilities that can define an alternate editor) this package can be of good use. It may be just one untracked file in the root directory; yet, how many files do we have untracked there?

To provide system-wide shell script usually in Linux system you may use two ways. The first one is to create a file into /etc (as your package does it). The second one is to create a file into /usr/local/smth. In both ways it's all right that these files are not under package manager control. So I'll remove this package. And nano* package too. -- Sincerely yours, E.Alekseev email: darkarcanis@mail.ru ICQ: 407-398-235 Jabber: arcanis@jabber.ru
