This is the right solution, then. I wish I could give you more direct advice for how to remove the dependency, but I've been spoiled by Portage: a simple config file change is all that's needed in that system. Since you mentioned Artix, hopefully pacman's pkgbuild system is equally as easy/straightforward. > Why would vim need perl built in as a dependency. I don't know, off-hand. Some searching didn't turn up a definitive result either. It is an optional dependency, but the dependency is build-time, not run-time, so I'm assuming it is used for some features that are enabled by the vim package from the distribution. Most systems will have packages depending on perl, so the package maintainers think "the average vim user will have perl installed anyway, so why not enable those optional features?" -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
