2013/5/20 Yaakov (Cygwin/X): Basically, if you want features, keep using vim. Otherwise, ex/vi (vim-minimal) provides the basic POSIX functionality. The big change is that vi != vim anymore. Apart from that, I guess calling vi (and that's what *many* users are used to) will now result in

2013/5/14 Yaakov (Cygwin/X): Apart from that, yes, vim-minimal should be a Base package, finally ;) Done. It overrides the symlink from vi to vim.exe and so this breaks my current setup: $ vi Error detected while processing /home/Frank/.vimrc: line1: E319: Sorry, the command is not

[RFC] vim-minimal in Base?

2013-05-13 Thread Yaakov (Cygwin/X)
As announced moments ago, I just moved ex/vi into a vim-minimal package, compiled with the 'small' feature set and not dependent on vim-common (hence nor perl). As these utilities are required by POSIX[1], should the vim-minimal package be added to Base? Yaakov [1]
