Description Dirk Heinrichs 2007-01-18 17:50:46 UTC 
As the summary says. Would be more Gentoo style if it was configurable with
a USE flag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge fcron

Actual Results:  
Installs nano as dependency of fcron.

Expected Results:  
Install an editor of users choice, or none at all.

Not going to change unless you are able to fix $EDITOR handling properly. Feel free to reopen with a patch.

Sorry for the dupe.

What about adding a dependency for virtual/text-editor?
