The last version of vi was based on vim and its a bit different for compiling options only. I think this is fine for most of users. I think in vi like a vim without X improvements, so, why not still with vi based on vim? Maybe you can provide nvi in a different package, which can provide vi, i dont know. > I was not aware of the double loading, a testbuild showed me that it is > easy to build both packages (vim/gvim) without the path specified.

Well, for not be so long, I made some packages for vi/vim/gvim with ruby1.9, for that I made a patch for vim (sent for vim_dev today) and uploaded for ArchLinux-BR repository [repo.archlinux-br.org]. I uploaded the packages with the PKGBUILD's on my home [http://even.archlinux-br.org/things/arch/packages]. For that I solve some bugs from flyspray[#13937 and #12440] and also the questions in the main of this thread.
