A proposal to integrate (a new version of) vim into the WOS, rather than
relegating it to the companion cd, as it is now. The discussion thread
starts here:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=10314&tstart=0
It basically bogged down on the details:
- what GUI toolkit, if any
- which language bindings
- whether we should modify vim so that said language bindings could be
dynamic
- what to name the associated binaries that come with vim -- ex and view,
in particular, since they conflict with existing binaries
- and that leads to the question of whether we should scrap the vi we
already have in favor of vim, and the compatibility issues that arise
with that
No one wanted to make any decisions on that, so it's left where it is. The
easy route right now would be to make a decision on the toolkit, use all
the language bindings available on the CCD and upgrade the vim on the CCD,
leaving the really hard questions for someone else. :)
