Yick. Do you really want vi compatible mode set? I 'spose we could just disable gentoo-syntax when compatible until the safe script environment thing gets implemented... It isn't really a matter of what _I_ want... ;-) We have a number of users who just want 'vi' to behave like the vi they have been using for the past 20 years so they use 'compatible' mode. They don't have any need for anything in gentoo-syntax but it is now being installed by default so they are getting it whether they want it or not. I have been unmerging gentoo-syntax but any future update will pick it up again so it's a bit of a hassle. I really don't think the use of 'compatible' mode is that rare so think it should be made to work with gentoo-syntax since that is getting installed by default. I'm a little curious why gentoo-syntax is now in the PDEPEND for vim-core. If someone wants it, why not let them emerge it? Unless I'm missing something, the basic function of vim doesn't depend on is so it just seems odd to include it as a dependency. Thanks for your help! --Rob Ok, if we actually have someone using compatible mode then I'll add in a check. It's in PDEPEND to make various things actually work out of the box. We had a fair bit of discussion about this before adding it. That would be ideal. Thanks much. SVN r158:159 In 20050318, thanks. FYI, 20050318 is working for me. Thanks! |
