For all the vim|emacs|whatever lovers, it would be nice to have an option available to set the default editor which gets installed by "emerge system". Best way IMO would be to parse the "EDITOR=" entry in /etc/rc.conf and include the corresponding editor in the "emerge system" list. Right now I always change the virtual/editor and the package list manual to emerge vim instead of nano. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
if you simply `emerge vim ; emerge system` then it'll work just fine this isnt really a 'bug' imo, plus it'll happen to everyone who doesnt like the default package for virtuals
nano is just the default editor becaus it is specified in /etc/make.profile/virtuals as default, change it there before you do your first emerge system to get another editor.
