Created attachment 427778 [details] neovim-remote 1.1.3 ebuild. This package is a wrapper for neovim adding the --remote flags that vim has. Neovim removed them in favor of using the msgpack/python-client API. It's nice to have, especially if you're using plugins like vimtex in neovim for synctex support.
Currently, --remote is planned to be restored in app-editors/neovim-0.2.0 https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1750 We probably don't actually need this ebuild, considering that neovim-remote will be unnecessary at that point.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=68df739510e810dd69036b98938c4ed55fc8b4de commit 68df739510e810dd69036b98938c4ed55fc8b4de Author: Aric Belsito <lluixhi@gmail.com> AuthorDate: 2017-09-09 23:39:58 +0000 Commit: Patrice Clement <monsieurp@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2018-01-05 17:43:38 +0000 dev-python/neovim-remote: new package. neovim-remote is an implementation of vim's remote server controls using dev-python/neovim-python-client's msgpack rpc api and a separate `nvr` binary. If https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1750 gets resolved, it won't be necessary anymore.
