I would like the console vim to be available in a smaller package metacluster; these metaclusters may exclude one or more of the packages that deliver the various toolkit libraries. If your vim executable can deal with these libraries being absent, then that's an acceptable approach. (The standard build cannot.) Your gvim may, of course, be linked against a toolkit (and then delivered in a package dependent on the toolkit's package). I guess part of the issue is knowing what the long-term intent regarding the existing vi(1) is. If vi(1) is current vi(1) indefinitely, then vim can go in a big metacluster and I'll just suffer in some tighter install situations; if vi(1) is meant to be vim-as-vi, then my request becomes more of a requirement - Stephen _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
