Bugzilla Bug 147844

Sorry if this is a dup, all my searches only show bugs for nvidia...

Anyway, gcc4 apparently no longer likes the following

(char *)bp = ((void *)0);

It wants
bp = ((void *)0);

instead. I have a patch that will allow the nvi code to compile again.

Patch to fix reported problem

This patch changes a few 

(char *)bp = ptr

type lines to

bp = ptr.

If you're running ~arch, there is a big problem; nvi should build with GCC4
just fine. If you're not, the newer ebuild that's already in the tree should be
marked stable. I don't know which is the case. Please, always provide your
emerge --info.

Thanks, in that case, nvi-1.81.5-r3 should work for you. Arch teams, please
mark this version stable.

I had not noticed -r3. However, that one will not work since it is now blocking
with gvim. Is there really a reason to keep blocking two versons of vi on a
distribution that is all about choice? Gvim worked up until this version with
nvi, why was that added to the block list?

configure fails here,

checking for db_create in -ldb... no
configure: error: Need DB 3.

ebuild says:

I added that block when I noticed gvim and nvi install conflicting files. You
can't install both, because then one ebuild will overwrite files belonging to
the other. It wasn't a problem before because gvim used to not install
convenience symlinks.

=db-4* is intentional; when updating nvi to use DB 4, I simply didn't adjust
all error messages. The problem is that nvi didn't handle DB 4.2's symbol
mangling, which I didn't know about because I tested with DB 4.3. This will be
fixed as soon as CVS is working again.

The ebuilds can modify the default install and not put in the links. We should
have all vi like program install to their own names and put in links via
eselect.

> The ebuilds can modify the default install and not put in the links.

nvi does this already. gvim didn't, last time I checked. If you want to make it
possible to install gvim and nvi at the same time, report this as a bug /
feature request against gvim. I don't maintain gvim, only nvi, and that's what
this bug is about.

I did open a generic bug yesterday to move things to eselect.

Saw you fixed the configure problem.  Now here we go for the normal test
procedure as written in the x86 arch testing reference manual:

1) emerges fine
2) passes collision test
3) works

The ebuild fails because for some reason mkinstalldirs does not do mkdir
/usr/bin before it tries to cd there.

I added -j1 for the installation, that should work around it for now. I'll try
to see if fixing it properly is doable soon.

HPPA done.

amd64 stable... i had to emerge -C vim, what an unholy piece of software!

Alpha done.
