Description Bearcat M. Sandor 2017-02-12 05:21:32 UTC

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     ] 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.
