Hello,
Honestly, my main motivation to send this series comes from a time when
I was building u-boot (meta-freescale) and I saw vim-native in Bitbake's
tasks. It blew my mind that a bootloader somehow dependend on a text
editor (yes, only to be built, not to be executed, I know), and the whole
text editor was being built to provide nothing more than xxd.
Just to be clear, what bothers me is NOT u-boot depending on xxd. It is
actually configuring and compiling Vim (considering the overhead this
represents) only to use a single tiny piece of it.
What's the build time impact? Because it may not be worth it in terms of
complexity.
Note that you also need to specify how much it impacts a build in which
both vim and vim-xxd are brought in the final image, which will result
in a biggest build time.
Cheers,
Quentin
