Looking at my following original VIM proposal: http://pl.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/267/spec-txt/
I suggested that the following tasks would be future tasks: 1) Replacing the current version of vi with vim 2) Creating dynamic language binding packages (To support embedded scripting) 3) Creating a standalone gvim (GUI vim) package 4) Changing Sun Studio's bundled vim to the system vim 5) Investigate interest in "tiny-vim" or "vim-minimal" package I am in the process of building new packages that address #2, and #3. My original thoughts were that the vim and gvim packages would be able to coexist, but I am thinking now, that I should make a vim-full package that is an alternate to the almost minimal (but not quite tiny-vim) package that currently exists. IE: We will have a choice of vim-full, vim-current or tiny-vim. As far as language bindings I am looking at Ruby, Perl, Python and TCL, as they are all part of Nevada today. (Please note these binding are not for syntax highlighting, the current vim package supports this). For graphical Bindings I am looking at Gtk. Any thoughts are welcome. (ARC draft is in progress, and test builds are working). I am going to try and have a case ready for submission (and fully vetted here) by the end of week if possible. Cheers, Brian P.S. - I think that if we are looking to replace vi with vim down the road we will need to still provide a binary that doesn't rely on the additional languages and graphical libraries. -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/ http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OpenSolaris_New_User_FAQ
