Description Jason Rhinelander 2002-11-25 15:12:41 UTC
Hi, I just noticed something with the r17 (yes, I know it's a '~' package) 
ebuild script for vim. It has in it: 

myconf="--without-x --with-features=big --enable-multibyte"

I think the --without-x should be removed, or at least changed to: 

use X && myconf="$myconf --without-x"

The reason for this is that even when --without-gui is specified (which is 
correct, since this is moved to the gvim ebuild), enabling x support contains 
at least one feature that I consider pretty useful - when editing a file, vim 
changes the title of the xterm to reflect the file being edited. I'm not sure 
what other differences there are between --with-x and --without-x, but I don't 
think --without-x should be there just because the GUI is disabled. Probably 
the only time --without-x should really be there is when the user has 
specified -X in their USE settings.
