Description Craig Finch 2007-09-01 21:19:58 UTC

Asymptote-1.29 ebuild tries to emerge app-editors/vim when I set USE flag "vim-syntax" even though I have app-editors/gvim already installed.  There is no reason to emerge vim when I already have gvim.  This does not appear to be fixed in the ebuilds for newer versions of Asymptote.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
set USE flag to enable vim-syntax
emerge asymptote
Actual Results:  
Tries to emerge app-editors/vim

Expected Results:  
Should recognize that app-editors/gvim provides equivalent functionality and reads syntax files from the same place.

There are other problems with this syntax file (or my vim installation) but I think they are unrelated.  It installs to /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax but my vim and gvim can't seem to locate it unless I copy it to /usr/share/vim/vim71/syntax.  Also, there is no ".asy" filetype in vim so you will have to manually load the syntax file, and it won't show up in the gvim GUI menu.
