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!

We should wait and see what solution will be applied for bug #586882.
