Why not Emacs? :-) I mean, this Vim tarball is 12M (D'oh!), can't this be fixed by xxd from Busybox for example? Or by other means, like including the small sources in the tree directly? FYI we're likely going to demand swig[1] soon as host dependency and not building it as tool, because it would be support and maintenance nightmare. Maybe this could be an option for this case as well? 1. https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2021-February/033654.html Cheers, Petr _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
