Description Dennis Schridde 2016-11-18 08:32:35 UTC

I am not a user of vim, so it seems strange that sys-process/tini-0.13.0 depends on it for just one program:
```
# vim-core is needed just for the xxd program
DEPEND="app-editors/vim-core"
```

```
# emerge -a app-emulation/docker --tree

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Is it possible to split off that one program into a separate package?

This seems to be already tackled by upstream here: https://github.com/krallin/tini/issues/62

That's great!

I was going to say that this does most of it:

od -t x1 -A n --endian=big LICENSE | \
sed -e 's: :, 0x:g' -e 's:$:,:' -e 's:^, :  :'

I went ahead and removed the dependency as the patch made it into the upstream repository.
