OK - We can now consider this thread closed as it's been decided that no editors other than elvis (vi clone) will be included in the 'base' group. Personally I would prefer to see another editor added to the 'base' group but I understand the reasons for this decision. Essentially you would only ever have to use this editor if you only did an installation of the 'base' group and something was broken and required you to fix a config file. The chances of not being able to install another editor are very slim and in those circumstances, elvis is available. If I can find a good spot for it, I might add something to the documentation about elvis being the only editor available after installation of the 'base' group. If nano or mc or something else is included, we then need to pull in its dependencies and assuming that was done, where would we stop with further requests to add stuff to 'base'. FS#329 has now been closed by VMiklos. -- May you always be Frugal, Russell Dickenson (AKA phayz) _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
