Description András 2007-12-24 12:47:18 UTC

Since sys-apps/busybox has a vi implementation (accessible through a symlink to the busybox binary), it can also provide virtual/editor.
May be useful for embedded.

Merry Christmas!

We have no desire to push busybox-vi as being the default editor at this time. 
It's more suited for the firmware's editor.
