I run neovim, not vim, and i'm trying to emerge dev-util/global. dev-utils/global has the 'vim' flag: vim : Integrate the GNU GLOBAL source code tag system with Vim which of course i need. However, if i have the vim flag enabled it tries to install vim which i don't need since i run nvim: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] app-editors/vim-core-8.0.0106::gentoo USE="acl nls -minimal" 0 KiB [ebuild N ] app-editors/vim-8.0.0106::gentoo USE="X acl gpm lua nls perl python ruby vim-pager -cscope -debug -luajit -minimal -racket (-selinux) -tcl" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_5 -python2_7 -python3_4" 0 KiB [ebuild N ] dev-util/global-6.3.1::gentoo USE="vim -doc -emacs" 1,338 KiB I have nvim enabled via eselect Available vi implementations: [1] vim [2] nvim * [3] busybox app-editors/neovim should provide vim for the vim useflag.
We should wait and see what solution will be applied for bug #586882.
