big brother is watching me.
An xterm just came up with this message:
"The default editor in FreeBSD is vi, which is efficient to use
when you have learned it, but somewhat user-unfriendly. To use
ee (an easier but less powerful editor) instead, set the
environment variable EDITOR to /usr/bin/ee"
Isn't this the best reasoning why it should stay as it is?
Wouldn't it be cool if there was an option you could toss in make.conf,
like VI_PREFIX=foo, which defaults to /usr of course? Then people who
want to move vi to /bin could rebuild world without worrying about it
redoing such a move after every big upgrade, and people who don't want
it moved, do nothing.
Not that I encourage feature creep or anything.
